    Verdict

    De Plotting Shed attempts to open his account over the larger obstacles at the 12th attempt but looks vulnerable against younger rivals. Rated 15lb higher over hurdles than Asylo, NOTNOW SEAMUS (NAP) was too keen on his fencing bow at Ffos Las and paid the price in the closing stages. Better is expected here with this sharper track likely to suit. Mellow Ben was a long way behind Asylo at Market Rasen and is only 2lb better off.
