      Verdict

      Hallyards Gael was the second-highest rated of these over hurdles, where he won twice, and may have been unlucky in a chase at Kelso last time. He looks the one to beat. Prince Highlight was officially rated higher than Hallyards Gael at best over hurdles but makes his chasing debut today. Free To Run steps back in trip after two fair efforts over three miles or more. Supreme Irony ran a better race in first-time blinkers last time but they are left off today.
