Verdict
MAKIN’YOURMINDUP won a Grade 2 hurdle at Haydock back in February and makes his chasing and handicap debut with Paul Nicholls’ yard in good form. Wiseguy and Great Name That are others to note taking on fences for the first time but Moon Hunter will be sharper for last month’s fourth at Cheltenham on his chasing bow. Storminhome found only one too good over fences at Huntingdon and should go well.
