      Verdict

      Special Catch is best watched having been pulled up on his only start last season. This looks a good opportunity for GOT THE NAC (NAP) given he only found one too good in two runs over fences in March. His Uttoxeter conqueror, Little Jon, won a Class 2 handicap at Newbury last month off a mark of 137 so his form has a solid look about it. Kiama Bay won twice over hurdles last season and was also second in a Grade 2 on heavy ground at Haydock so shouldn't be far away if taking to the larger obstacles but none of the remaining trio make much appeal.
