Verdict
LEADER IN THE PARK had a couple of subsequent winners behind him when an excellent second at Newbury on return and this C&D winner shades the vote over Old Cowboy, who impressed when winning on his second chase start at Newbury. Peso made an eye-catching return at the same track and could also figure.

VerdictCompleted the hat-trick over hurdles when making all in a 3-runner Kempton novice (21f, good) in April and looked a natural when winning a match race on chase bow at Warwick on return. Only just edged out at Doncaster since and remains of interest.- 4. Leader In The ParkJ: Ben JonesT: Ben PaulingF: 14/51136-2

VerdictFairly useful novice hurdler last season and already a better chaser, leaving chase bow/return well behind when winning at Newbury 12 days ago, impressing in all respects and value for extra over the result. Will go on improving. - 6. PesoJ: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.T: Jonjo & A.J. O'NeillF: 412-4

VerdictUseful hurdler who achieved a similar level of form in 2 chases 14 months ago, winning at Uttoxeter before third in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham. Off 11 months (had wind op), showed he retains his ability when third in hurdle at Uttoxeter and chase at Newbury both starts this season.- Unnamed Favourite
