      Verdict

      There are question marks over a few of these but Civil Unrest has won two of his last three over hurdles, though is less well treated over fences. He has won a couple of times, however, but so has VODKA WELLS (NAP) and Rebecca Menzies’ charge can get his head back in front having hit the crossbar when well backed last time at Sedgefield. Ballycool may be best of the rest but his absence since October is a bit of a concern
