      Verdict

      NIETZSCHE has taken well to fences, winning twice at Perth and finishing second in other races at Hexham and Cartmel. Back in novice company, he should be up to giving weight to these. The lightly-raced Newtown Boy looks the danger as he was ahead of the odds-on Whatsmore at Market Rasen when coming to grief on the final circuit. Dual hurdles winner Placedela Concorde should make a chaser and is preferred to An Fear Ciuin of the others.
