      Verdict

      After winning by nine lengths here last month, SET THE TREND was let down by his jumping when attempting to defy a penalty at Stratford. He should get back on track today, however, as long as he doesn't make any serious errors. Upsanddowns will have needed his comeback run at Bangor but his future lies over longer trips than this. Bumper winner Are They Your Own has a long absence to overcome and has shown little so far over hurdles while the other pair are also hard to fancy.
