      Verdict

      ORGANISATEUR developed into a very useful hurdler last season and can be forgiven his latest run over an inadequate trip at Taunton. Paul Nicholls will have given him plenty of schooling over the larger obstacles and he looks a cut above the usual standard of novice chasers at this time of year - he'll be hard to beat here. In a race in which the hot favourite failed to complete, Raslan finished tailed off behind stable companion Horsford and is best watched at the moment. Benbane Head looks the type to thrive over fences, however, and is probably the one most likely to profit if the selection doesn't come up to scratch.
