Verdict
I Am Colin won over hurdles at Stratford on his latest start in March and makes his chasing bow off a 6lb higher mark. But SPENDING TIME also scored over timber at Stratford in September and David Pipe's charge gets a tentative vote taking on the larger obstacles for the first time. Copperfacejack was third on his chasing debut at Worcester but was still beaten a long way while Changeofluck was less than fluent over fences at Wincanton last month and failed to figure. Urban Storm may prove best of the rest.
