        Verdict

        Although Foxton Brook and Ten Pressed Men hail from top yards, the slightly more experienced Roznic may have their measure on this occasion. Roznic created a favourable impression when third to Moorlands Return here at Kempton, picking up really well after losing his place, and going into many notebooks in the process. If he was with a fashionable stable, Roznic would probably be much shorter than he is likely to be, and is the one to beat. Nicky Henderson has a tremendous record in bumpers so Foxton Brook will have plenty of supporters on his debut, as no doubt will Ten Pressed Men from the Jonjo O'Neill yard. Cyrium looks best of the rest to have raced so far, although he needs to settle more than he did at Ludlow. Bets are best kept to a minimum in the finale, but Roznic is the percentage call.
