    Verdict

    Emitom has gone close in two of his three starts over fences. He was a smart staying hurdler a couple of years ago but could be up against a couple of more progressive novices in this. Threeunderthrufive hassn’t done a lot wrong so far over the larger obstacles and is on a hat-trick. However, he does have a small penalty and that might have opened the door for FANTASTIKAS, who made a smooth transition to chasing at Lingfield when giving 16lb and a seven-length beating to Thursday’s Warwick winner Pemberley.
