      Verdict

      GEORGE BANCROFT (NAP), a winner twice over 1m4f on the Flat this year, is Jonjo O’Neill Jnr’s only booked ride and should make a winning debut over timber if his jumping is up to scratch. Keepyourdreamsbig just lasted home at Uttoxeter but did finish a long way ahead of Vunipola though, like the filly, The Yellow Mini, has no form on ground with some give. Cirrus barely stayed a mile on the level so there are stamina concerns.
