        Verdict

        Cossack Dancer, Predicament, Spinaround and Hardybuck all come here with chances, and we will side with Cossack Dancer. This beginners' chase looks the ideal opportunity for the Mark Bradstock-trained eight-year-old to get off the mark over fences. He was a course-and-distance winner here over hurdles and has run with credit over the larger obstacles, most notably when two and a half lengths behind ex-Champion-hurdler Hors La Loi III at Taunton last December. Of the others, Hardybuck represents the Nigel-Twiston-Davies yard. He had looked a promising recruit to the stable but has been disappointing of late and unseated his rider in a recent maiden chase at Leicester. Spinaround has performed with credit recently but has looked as though he would benefit from a longer trip. Predicament runs in the Sir Robert Ogden colours and AP McCoy is in the saddle; he has a chance of sorts but would have to improve significantly to challenge our selection, Cossack Dancer.
