      Verdict

      Ruby Gale will be a warm order here and gets the call over Farnaheezaview and Dooberry Firkin. Far and away the best of these over hurdles, the Paul Nicholls-trained selection has been placed on all three starts over fences and, with the benefit of that experience, which has revealed a reasonable level of form, he is quite clearly the one to beat. Also, he has had a wind operation since his latest start, which can only help matters. Of the others, Farnaheezaview has some reasonable placed efforts over hurdles to his name and can bag some money, and Dooberry Firkin also showed enough over hurdles to be granted a chance of getting in the money. However, it is very hard to get away from Ruby Gale who will rarely find a better opportunity to win a chase.
