Verdict
Regal Park, a winning stayer on the Flat, has been quite well backed on all three starts over timber. He hasn't managed a place yet, however, and it's anybody's guess about whether first-time blinkers will have the desired effect today. Bumper winner Denali Highway also sports headgear for the first time but appears to have plenty to find if he's to get the better of BARTON STACEY. David Pipe's seven-year-old hasn't been seen since a beaten favourite on his hurdling debut at Worcester in August but will appreciate a first try at 2m4f and fitness is rarely an issue with the yard's runners.
