    Verdict

    Chris Pea Green had little to do to lose his maiden tag over fences here a fortnight ago but he'd previously run well against stiff opposition. Tango De Juilley didn't quite live up to expectations over hurdles after arriving from France but did well enough and made a very impressive debut over fences at Kempton last month, his first start for 20 months. FERGALL, who won three times over hurdles including the Sussex Champion Hurdle here, hasn't been disgraced in two subsequent starts in strong company. He's having his first start over fences and can make his allowance from the previous chase winners count. Future Gilded hasn't been seen since scoring over timber at Aix-les-Bains last summer after which he went for 50,000 euros but the runner-up won easily next time so the form could be decent.
