    Verdict

    Here Comes Love has placed once in a combined 18 starts over hurdles and fences though Mcginty's Dream scored over hurdles at Newcastle in January. But the latter has plenty to find on these terms with VERY FIRST TIME, who was challenging for the lead when falling two fences from home at Wetherby on his recent chasing bow and this contest is his for the taking with a clear round.
