        Verdict

        Yorkshire rattled up a sequence over hurdles during the summer and would have won on his chasing bow at Market Rasen where he was well clear when running out at the stable gate. Continued to finish third, jumping well and should win here. Billie John won a minor event over timber at Hexham in May and was runner-up recently at Market Rasen, but best watched on his chasing bow. Serraval has a couple of wins on the flat to his credit and ran well when second over hurdles at Worcester recently. He may follow Yorkshire home.
