      Verdict

      Master Work made a winning start to his career at Exeter but the form has sent out mixed messages. The fourth has won since but the second and third were beaten next time. He has to give 7lb to IF YOU SAY RUN and Dandy Dan with the former preferred to the latter. Paul Nicholls' mare also carries a penalty but she won what looked a strong novices' event at Chepstow last month and has any amount of scope. Kim Bailey's charge has won a bumper but makes his hurdling debut while Shadow's Boy is already looking a little exposed.
