Verdict

With her stable in much better form, VISUAL IMPACT can belatedly build on a promising chase debut at this course. Orkney Blue was much improved when winning at Carlisle and has claims if building on that, while Sunset Hill isn't discounted having been well-backed last time.

Hasn't gone on from a promising chase debut here in November but yard in much better form of late and she's worth another chance having only her fourth chase start. 1st Pick 3 Visual Impact (Ire) Jockey: Derek Fox Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Derek Fox T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

1	Runner-up twice in maiden hurdles last season, latterly at this course (heavy). Proved a different proposition third start over fences, ridden more positively/returned to less testing conditions when scoring at Carlisle earlier this month. Should give another good account. 2nd Pick 1 Orkney Blue Jockey: K. Brogan Trainer: N. W. Alexander J: K. Brogan T: N. W. Alexander	95	-	-	-	56%	4/5

2	Hasn't quite matched the best of her hurdle form over fences but was well-backed/yet to be asked for everything when unseating in first-time cheekpieces at Carlisle last time. Looks worth another go over this trip. 3rd Pick 2 Sunset Hill (Ire) Jockey: Nathan Moscrop Trainer: Susan Corbett J: Nathan Moscrop T: Susan Corbett	98	-	-	-	10%	10/1
