      Verdict

      It would appear that LINE FREEDOM has only to stay on her feet to take this contest. She looked held when falling at the last at Newbury back in November but beat subsequent winner Risaala at Towcester before that and Nicky Henderson's mare will start a very short-price here. Colleens Pride didn't get far before being pulled-up as a consequence of an early stumble on her hurdling debut last week and it remains to be seen what she's capable of. Farewellatmidnight has shown nothing in two bumpers while Ericaceous and Mater Mater were pulled-up and tailed off respectively on their recent hurdling debuts.
