    Verdict

    Full won twice over hurdles at Wincanton last month but finished tailed of in a Grade 2 chase on that course last Saturday and is 0-7 over the larger obstacles. NIGHT OF SIN weakened quickly over 2m5f at Hereford on his chasing bow and hasn’t won for a while. But the drop in distance here should see him in a better light and he is fancied to make all. Diablerets is tackling fences for the first time having been a very ordinary performer over hurdles.
