      Verdict

      Paul Nicholls seems to have found the key to Il Capitano since he stepped him up to a trip of three miles plus over hurdles, and will be hoping a return to Fontwell will pay dividends for his chasing debut. The conditions should suit him and his form over timber reads quite well in the context of this race. Wontcostalotbut and Dear Deal could be the main beneficiaries in the advent of any mishaps.
