        Verdict

        On the face of it, this doesn't look that hotter race, but with three of the big yards represented it probably isn't too bad. No Visibility did tackle a couple of novice chases in Ireland, without showing too much, but he is from a yard that does well with it's novices and mustn't be written off just yet. However, this looks as though it comes down to a duel between two ex-French horses, who have both won over fences in their native country. Kock De La Vesvre may do better over this trip after giving the impression that he failed to get home over an extra half-mile at Plumpton and with McCoy in the saddle, he looks sure to take the beating. However, he looks to face a formidable opponent in Cobreces, the winner of three of his eight starts over hurdles and fences. Now in the care of Paul Nicholls, who does so well with his French recruits, he comes here instead of waiting for a similar event next weekend.
