      Verdict

      The improving Paddy The Horse has won twice over hurdles at Hexham this season but makes his chasing debut, as does Irish raider Champ De Gane. MASKED CRUSADER (NAP) has started favourite in four of his five starts under Rules. He was leading when blundering and unseating his rider at the last at Musselburgh last month and compensation awaits here with a clear round. Duty Calls has yet to place in six runs over fences while Netywell is struggling for form.
