    Verdict

    GET ON THE YAGER easily won two point-to-points in the spring and could hardly have been more impressive on his debut for Dan Skelton over hurdles at Market Rasen where he made all and jumped his rivals silly. He'll make a very smart staying chaser in time but should win his share over timber starting here. Wyfield Rose took an age to get off the mark but has now won five times over timber though she'll probably need to make further progress. Winning bumper Spirit Of Kayf landed a maiden hurdle at Hexham in September but that was over two miles and he only got as far as the second when stepped up in trip at Sedgefield. Acdc will need mishaps from his rivals to get into the action.
