Verdict
Most of these are chasing for the first time including Jeremy Pass. The novice hurdle winner has undergone a wind operation since last in action and so has GETAROUND. The latter has won three of only six starts over timber and the half-brother to a winning chaser may prove good enough on his debut for Dan Skelton’s yard. Champagne Rhythm and Pats Fancy are maiden hurdle winners while the Blame The Game is 10lb higher than when scoring over hurdles at Fontwell but Eva's Oskar is back on a winning mark.
