      Verdict

      The Omen scored over fences at Lingfield last week but has yet to win over hurdles in 13 attempts. SEASIDE SHUFFLE is preferred as he won a similar event over track and trip last month and should have the beating of Osorios Trial, well beaten in a seller at Stratford when last over hurdles. Ruby Valentine won last year's renewal but is returning from a lay-off on this occasion.
