      Verdict

      Nachi Falls was very impressive at Worcester but the second that day struggles to get his head in front while the third has proved a huge disappointment over fences. Slim Pickens has been going well over hurdles but this is a step into the unknown. After winning at Market Rasen, Ballinure was pulled up at Worcester and looks held by Nachi Falls on collateral form. BRAQUEUR D’OR seems best on sharp tracks so should be back in his element after making a bold bid in a handicap at Uttoxeter last time – Paul Nicholls’ novice can give the weight away.
