      Verdict

      This looks to be something of a re-run of the Welsh Champion Hurdle of nineteen days ago in which Vol Solitaire just got the better of topweight Copeland in a driving finish. Copeland finds himself only a pound better off and preference is for Vol Solitaire who looks on the top of his game. Milligan looked on the way back with a good effort at Aintree last time but The French Furze seems out of sorts. Dibea Times has consistently disappointed his fanclub but if returning to something approaching his old form could be the surprise package.
