      Verdict

      Refinement gets the call here ahead of She's Our Native and Silver Charmer. The Royal & SunAlliance Novices' Hurdle third, Refinement, warmed up for this by running well for a long way at Chepstow 14 days ago. Her official mark still seems reasonable enough and she can go well, as can Silver Charmer if in the same sort of form that saw her run so well at Cheltenham last time. Now rated five pounds above her Ludlow win, a good run from She's Our Native would not be a surprise, but United has something to prove now after losing her form since winning a Grade 1 Punchestown event in 2005. Overall, though, the vote goes to Refinement.
