Verdict
WHATDUHAVTOGET made all to score here the last day and should not prove inconvenienced by the drop back to 2m. He jumped well and is taken to make that recent experience count against Forth Bridge, a very decent hurdler at his best, but who showed no real aptitude when tried over fences previously. However, he'll be dangerous if getting his act together over the larger obstacles. Curious Carlos is very much a hold-up merchant over hurdles and made a pleasing chase debut at Sedgefield. However, this looks a tougher assignment and he also has to give weight away to both rivals in what should prove an intriguing contest.
