      Verdict

      Veteran THAT'S RHYTHM has come to grief a couple of times lately but won here in February and this is a big drop in class from the Cheltenham Foxhunters. Last year's winner may be able to give the weight to Gentle George, an excellent fifth in the Fox Hunters' at Aintree but undoubtedly better with more give in the ground than he'll get today. Cool Mission returns from a lengthy absence but runners from his yard are capable of running well fresh and he's preferred to the others who have been in good form between the flags lately but have yet to show the same zest under Rules.
