      Verdict

      A useful hurdler for Nicky Henderson, Protek Des Flos remains unexposed over fences but is probably best watched after a break. I'm To Blame ran well on his chasing bow at Carlisle considering he was a shade keen. A winner of five of his nine career starts to date, it won;t be long before he gets his head back in front but GLINGER FLAME came good over timber at Hexham in the spring and promises to make an even better chaser. Ravenhill Road didn’t do a lot wrong on his reappearance at Wetherby but is the most exposed of these over the larger obstacles. Like the selection, Dali Mail is tackling fences for the first time but is another who should be suited.
