Verdict

Joe Tizzard's FIRST CONFESSION is fancied to put his chasing experience to telling effect and gain a first success in this sphere to supplement his point and hurdling victories. Della Casa Lunga has some useful hurdling form to her name and appeals as the pick of the trio of chasing newcomers.

4	Useful winning 3m hurdler who comes here on the back of a solid fourth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Kempton 38 days ago.
