      Verdict

      Feel The Pride, Kentford Grebe and Classic China are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Feel The Pride. The selection unseated her rider at Sandown last time but she had previously shown a decent level of form over hurdles, and if she can translate that form to the bigger obstacles then she should take plenty of beating. Kentford Grebe has also got some decent form over hurdles and she translated that form to the chasing game when winning on her debut to defeat Lambe De La See. She is clearly capable of going close here and is entitled to plenty of respect. Classic China won well last time but she has a penalty for that success and the drop in trip would seem to go against her, so we are happy to take her on. Diletia is a course and distance winner and is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Feel The Pride.
