      In depth

      Verdict

      SON DU BERLAIS makes his debut for Nicky Henderson having won over hurdles at Auteuil back in March. He can shrug off a penalty and go in again. Val D'Arc has won over fences in France and fared well enough on his hurdles bow at Worcester in May while Nordic Run makes his belated debut under Rules having won a point-to-point in 2012. Kilcullen Article is another points winner but has shown noting over timber so far.
