      Verdict

      Aye Well bids for a hat-trick off a 7lb higher mark having won at Wetherby on his latest start. But he had earlier finished well behind CANGO at Ayr and the latter is fancied to confirm running in this. A winner at Worcester in September, Kitchapoly has been thereabouts in a couple of subsequent starts and can figure but winning hurdlers Forward Flight and Vengeur De Guye will need to step up on their respective form over fences to figure. Danehills Well has yet to win and makes his chasing debut today.
