      Verdict

      Graasten has a very good record over hurdles around here and made a successful debut over fences at Fontwell before finishing a close third at Cheltenham. He started 1/8 for a novices' chase here last month and was beaten but should do better in these much more testing conditions. MORNEY WING (NAP) won a Class 2 handicap at Sandown in December then ran a superb race in the Eider Chase at Newcastle. He stays much further than this and his young rider should ensure he gets a stamina test. Enjoy Responsibly wins his share and produced a good effort in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time while Kim Bailey tries Another Venture in a visor in an attempt to recapture last year's form when he completed a double on testing ground. Holly Bush Henry was only beaten narrowly by the selection at Fakenham last January when conceding 13lb so would be a certainty on that form but he hasn't shown the same kind of form.
