Verdict
Goochypoochyprader, coaxed back to impressive from after a 10-month lay-off by Nick Lampard, produced fine efforts on all six starts in the opening months of 2013. Up 29lb for those endeavours, he could still be the one to beat if ready to roll on this first outing since April. However, SUPERCILIARY, representing a yard with a solid course record, has assured fitness on his side after a respectable campaign on the level and Chris Gordon's 4-y-o should have more to offer over timber in just his second season hurdling. Definite Lady was comfortably clear of the rest when last seen at Aintree, finishing a commendable runner-up but may just need this first run since June. Elsewhere, the feeling persists that we have yet to see the best of Our Phylli Vera. She looks potentially well treated and is one to take careful note of after just the four starts last term for the Alan King team.
