      Verdict

      Kapsize won three times over fences at minor tracks in France. He’s having a first run for Charlie Longsdon, however, and his record over hurdles leaves a bit to be desired. SUNSET SHOWDOWN has a penalty to carry but was second over course and distance before winning at Ffos Las and coming up against a subsequent winner last time – he’ll be a short price in this. Winter Holiday was third at Southwell last month but tried to refuse at Bangor 12 days ago.
