Verdict

Hue And Cry gets the verdict in this finale, Nelson du Ronceray and Presentandcorrect could be the main rivals. Nicky Henderson has a record second to none in these events and Hue And Cry can add to his recent tally. He is superbly bred out of a mare who is a half sister to winning hurdler Mutahm, if supported in the ring take note. Presentandcorrect is the representative of Phillip Hobbs and is related to Irish point to point winners. Meanwhile Nelson du Ronceray is trained by Martin Pipe and is certainly bred for a chase career, but could still manage to get into the action in this event. The experienced horses are nothing special and so it should fall to a newcomer and we will side with Hue And Cry.
