In depth

Verdict

For Good Measure was second three times over hurdles last season and has to be of interest on his chasing bow, though has only won on heavy ground so far and probably needs further. New Agenda was best on sharp tracks over hurdles and has fitness on his side. Dreamcatching will strip fitter for a run at Cheltenham and gets a hefty weight-for-age allowance while Free Stone Hill had yet to be asked for his effort when falling at Kempton, though is probably a few pounds too high. ROBINSHILL would have won here two weeks ago had he not got the last all wrong and unseated Jamie Bargary. He could make amends today with a clear round.
