    Verdict

    Hunt Ball, a classy chaser, won twice over hurdles in May. But Nicky Henderson's stable is still flexing its muscles following a summer break and MONT CHOISY (NAP), who is receiving 14lb, was impressive when outstaying a subsequent winner here last month and can continue on an upward curve. She's Late tries a new trip after his fourth over 2m4f here in July but is still preferred to the unexposed Airpur Desbois and the mare Mrs Jordan.
