        Verdict

        SWAFFHAM BULBECK, only caught in the final strides when favourite for a similar contest over track and trip in January, looks the obvious answer to this but hurdling debutant Country'n'western could be a danger as he’s been in good form on the all-weather over the winter. Arch My Boy was just beaten in a bumper here a year ago and won later on the Flat while Zanzi Win has hinted at ability over timber and has had wind surgery since last in action.
