    Verdict

    ELEAZAR sets a decent standard on his second to Southwestern in a valuable hunter chase at Stratford last May and may just have too much for Teddy's Reflection, who won a novices' handicap at Ascot in 2010 but makes his hunter chase debut this afternoon. Barbers Shop was third in the King George in 2009 and gets 8lb from his likely market rivals but he returns from a long absence today and appeared to have lost his way when last seen. Star Double could have a fitness advantage over the others having won at Higham last month but he's easily held by the selection on last year's C&D form.
