        Verdict

        Can't Be Scrabble ran with promise at Worcester recently and has to be respected along with Market Rasen second Nickel Suntoo but Enda Bolger's runners always warrant respect and Around Before gets the vote. The six-year-old has been running in hunter chases in Ireland and looks an interesting runner against such modest opposition here in this company on his hurdling debut. Leagues has claims on official BHB ratings but looks pretty exposed now and of more interest could be Can't Be Scrabble. A point-to-point winner, he ran well in similar company over three miles at Worcester last time and has solid claims although the shorter trip is a worry. The Venetia Williams-trained Kindle Ball is another worthy of a mention but we are happy to side with the Irish raider Around Before.
