        Verdict

        The ultra-game Channahrlie is given a slender vote of confidence over Dead-Eyed Dick and Punchy, who are both very capable of making this a real test at this level. The last mentioned does need to brush up on his jumping though, as his tendency to take a few liberties at his fences has cost him dearly in the past. Like Even More, he has plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved and some further assistance from the handicapper could bring about the desired effect after this. Dead-Eyed Dick proved he has the stamina for this sort of trip at Newton Abbot and will be a danger to them all. However, these fences do take some clearing and this does represent a stiffer test of his abilities today. The fact that he has won here in the past is in his favour and a bold bid seems assured. However, Channahrlie handled the track very well when he was last seen out and, as an individual that does not take much readying to do himself justice, we take Robin Dickin's charge to battle his way to the front for us once more this afternoon.
