Verdict
Ship Of The Fen, a four-times winner on the Flat, might do better over hurdles second time around. Say Nothing is 0-10 over timber and seems best on sharp tracks like Fakenham but former pointer Keeper Chris will enjoy this stamina test. HILLVIEW placed between the flags as a four-year-old and has been steadily improving in bumpers. He is taken to make a winning start over hurdles in a modest maiden.
