      Verdict

      VEGAS CASH won by 19 lengths on his hurdling debut at Aintree in June. He has to give weight to his rivals here but will be a short price to do so and can't be realistically opposed. Sharlene's Quest won her bumper here in February last year but made no show on her hurdles bow last winter and may need this while none of the others with experience have shown much so far and newcomer Garth Mountain was modest sort on the Flat and returns from a length absence.
