      Verdict

      Exitas has been in good form over fences and can race off a much lower mark back over hurdles today. Vaniteux also reverts to the smaller obstacles off a lower mark but the consistent Bugsie Malone has been raised 3lb for winning over timber at Fontwell recently. He can still figure again but ROYAL HALL is just preferred having also scored at the latter track in August and placing on the Flat at Lingfield subsequently. Vaniteux may do better back over this longer trip and David Pipe sent out the winner of this in 2016.
