        Verdict

        Course and distance winner Fluff 'n' Puff has only been raised 2lbs for his win at Huntingdon earlier this month and has to be respected, along with top weight Elenas River who makes his debut for Philip Hobbs, but the vote goes to Pillar Of Fire. The Ian Williams-trained gelding is well weighted on his hurdles form and has shown enough in his last two starts over fences that he can take advantage of a favourable mark, especially now that his stable is back among the winners. Formerly with Henrietta Knight, Elenas River is interesting off a mark of 103 on his first start since joining current connections but may be best watched today. River Wye is another that is thrown in on his best form but he has given little sign of encouragement in recent starts. Nigel Twiston-Davies saddles two with recent Warwick winner Prancing Blade preferred to Sir Robbo. However, Pillar Of Fire has plenty going for him and gets the vote.
