    Verdict

    Sebastopol is the only one of these with previous chasing experience. His jumping has improved and he won’t go down without a fight as he is very effective on quicker surfaces. MCFABULOUS is the one to beat, however, if translating his hurdling form to fences. He was a three-times Grade 2 winner over the smaller obstacles and won at this meeting two years ago. Victorias Peak only got off the mark over hurdles a month ago but should make a chaser having won between the flags and the four-year-old Interne De Sivola is lightly raced and gets a weight-for-age allowance.
