Verdict
SENDIYM (NAP) overcame a couple of mistakes to score at Musselburgh but couldn't repeat the process at Catterick when the going was softer. He's a quick-ground horse and will enjoy today's conditions so looks the one to be on. Blue Talisman has never tried a trip this far and it's difficult to know if he'll stay but winning point-to-pointer Western Goose will have no problems with the distance though his form over hurdles is very moderate. Mr Squirrel is likely to attract attention though he's yet to reach a place in ten starts.
