        Verdict

        Jusful has not been seen since showing a little ability in a Market Rasen bumper over a year ago and has clearly had his problems. He is probably best watched on his hurdling bow while Native Fox has the advantage of previous hurdling form but is also returning from a longish absence. There is little to choose between Cape Stormer and Mr Fluffy on BHB ratings but marginal preference is for the former who has some useful placed form and is proven in the conditions.
