Verdict
Do You Know What has been favourite or joint favourite in his last five outings but only won once. However, he appeared to be unsettled after colliding with a rival at the first fence here last month and he was better over this longer trip over hurdles. Vocaliser is thrown in on his form of a couple of years ago and is unlikely to fail through lack of fitness. Barton Rose is another very well treated on her best form but she is on a long losing run. GRAND COUREUR never got competitive when trying to follow up an earlier victory at Southwell three weeks ago but was hampered a couple of times. A good run from Scartare in the first division would enhance his claims.
