      Verdict

      MUSH MIR won three times on the Flat at this track and has taken well to hurdling since joining Nicky Henderson winning his first two starts. A 7lb conditional reduces his winners' penalty incurred for hacking up at Fakenham last time and he's fancied to care of recent Worcester runner-up Knockalongi. The latter looks the biggest threat as Monroe Park has plenty to find with the selection and winning pointer Young Jim makes his debut under Rules. The remaining pair have shown little to recommend them so far.
