      Verdict

      It is impossible to ignore the claims of Joss Naylor even though this is his debut over fences. The seven-year-old was rated well over a stone better than all of these over timber and it is surely a case of him just negotiating a safe completion of the course. Sterling Dot Com has a little to find, even with Tony McCoy booked for the ride, so Minster Sunshine, who at least has some experience of fences and is TEAMtalk's selection to follow Joss Naylor home.
