    Verdict

    Nebuchadnezzar has yet to threaten since switched to fences while Benny's Bridge failed to follow up a promising debut at Doncaster when pulled up at Newbury, though does drop down a grade for this. Blueberg has pulled up over hurdles the last twice so fellow chasing debutant SIROCO JO could be another winner for the Nicholls team as both of his victories over timber came on a similar surface.
