Verdict
WHOSHOTTHESHERIFF is versatile as regards the ground and arrives on the back of an easy novice chase success over 2m3f at Catterick. He should have the measure of these including Return Ticket, who has recorded both wins over fences over shorter trips. Heartbreak Kid won a couple of novice hurdles at this venue last year but struggled over fences at Kelso last time and has a bit to find on these terms with the selection while Challow and stablemate Here In The Dark have yet to win a race between them.
