        Verdict

        Knight's Emperor is inexperienced over the larger obstacles but was by far the best of these over timber and can prevail with the assistance of Tony McCoy. The son of Grand Lodge showed himself to be in good heart after finishing second off a mark of 103 at Worcester and looks the one to beat at this lowly level. Shellin Hill has had plenty of chances but remains a disappointing maiden and looks worth opposing while Henrianjames looks short of pace at this trip and is vulnerable under his penalty.
