      Verdict

      Sadler's Cove is in good form and can win despite giving away at least a stone to every runner. The selection stayed on strongly to record just his second win last time out over course and distance and as he handles soft ground, any further rain will certainly not go amiss. This looks a weak race and he need only reproduce that run to win again. Nae Bother At All returns to these smaller obstacles but that may just be for a confidence boost as he fell over fences last time out. Double Deputy is nicely bred but this son of Sadler's Wells has been disappointing so far since switched to hurdles although money for John Quinn's runner should be noted. At a price newcomer Flighty Mist could spring a shock but for the winner we will return to the horse in form, Sadler's Cove, as the selection.
