Verdict
Jonnie Skull was taken out of his intended chase debut at Huntingdon in midweek and it's anyone's guess how he'll react to fences for the first time on the 175th start of his career, though he seems to like it here. Upsanddowns is a useful hurdler but was beaten a long way on his chasing debut and is best watched for now. Town Mouse makes a quick reappearance after being swept aside by Fox Norton at Huntingdon five days ago but was clear of the rest and must go close. RED SEVENTY could be the value, however, as he's shown plenty of improvement on both starts since sent chasing and a repeat of a really good effort at Uttoxeter last time will see him go close.
