      Verdict

      A tricky puzzle to solve but Jaunty Flyer should be the pick of the two Tim Vaughan runners with Richard Johnson booked. This is Vendredi Trois’ time of year and Master Burbidge definitely goes on the short-list after a better effort at Newbury. Aubusson was s smart hurdler but he has a poor strike-rate over fences. HEY BILL (NAP) has been flattering to deceive but won this last year when 9lb higher so gets one final chance to come good again.
