Verdict

Inside Dealer has been in terrific form, beating today's rival Mud Monkey at Hereford in November and scoring over this C&D a month later. Runner-up to Shakalakaboomboom over 3m at Taunton on his latest start, Colin Tizzard's seven-year-old is a leading contender again in this. Or Bleu came back to form when runner-up to stablemate Chance Du Roy at Chepstow last month, while Qulinton found only Neptune Equester too good at Wetherby in the autumn. But the move to put REQUIN over fences could pay instant dividends as Victor Dartnall's six-year-old was a game winner over hurdles here in December and far from disgraced off a higher mark when eighth at Wincanton last month.
