        Verdict

        Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden teamed up to win this last year and can record a quick double this afternoon with GREANETEEN (NAP). The French import has only run once so far and that was in July 2017 but he would have beaten a decent field had he jumped a little better and could be a nice prospect – fitness won’t be an issue. Southfield Torr looks the stable second string but was only beaten half-a-length when favourite here two weeks ago. Coole Well has shown ability in bumpers and points but has had wind surgery and switched stables since last seen. Bang On looked in need of further when fourth at Bangor.
