      Verdict

      CHRISTOPHER WOOD (NAP), a 148-rated hurdler who is effective on good and soft ground, should be too good for these if taking to fences. Beyond The Clouds is also a decent hurdler but he’s had only one run since wind surgery in November, finishing well beaten in a bumper. Aire Valley Lad has been out of sorts since returning from a break and Ming Dynasty has plenty to prove having only placed once in four previous runs over the larger obstacles.
