    Verdict

    BUYWISE will be a short price for this as he completes Cheltenham preparations. He'll be back over fences at The Festival but did win over smaller obstacles at Ludlow in the autumn before finishing fifth in the Paddy Power. Whatthebutlersaw finished more than 20 lengths ahead of Tobefair in a Worcester bumper in September and is preferred to debutant Berea Venture for forecast purposes.
