        Verdict

        Ace Fighter Pilot just got up at Towcester last month but may find it tougher to pick these off under a penalty. Newcomer Two Oscars, a full brother to winning hurdler/chaser On The Other Hand, and former pointer Vrai Vert both represent powerful yards while Fearless Leader hinted at ability last season but the one that catches the eye in this finale is HODGSON. A P McCoy takes the ride on Rebecca Curtis' grey son of Oscar who is a close relation of the smart Chicago Grey and probably capable of holding his own in better company before the winter is over
