Verdict

SPADESTEP has found only one too good on each of his 4 starts over fences to date, yet he surely won't be long in going one better judged on his strong finishing display for the latest of them at Newcastle 4 weeks ago and he could be the way to go. Marty McFly continues to progress in this sphere and is feared, along with Sedgefield scorer Coup de Coeur. Last year's winner Raffles Wonder and Dance Thief complete the shortlist.

3	Point/hurdles winner who has found only one too good all 4 starts over fences, strong at the line and likely to have pushed winner closer but for a jolting error last at Newcastle (2m) 4 weeks back. Well worth considering from 1 lb higher mark. 1st Pick 3 Spadestep (Ire) Jockey: Derek Fox Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Derek Fox T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	99	-	-	-	36%

4	Thrived for switch to larger obstacles this season, taking his record to 4-7 when drawing clear of 4 rivals at Catterick (15.6f) 18 days ago. Versatile sort who is fancied to hold his own from career high mark now upped in class. 2nd Pick 4 Marty Mcfly (Ire) Jockey: Danny Mcmenamin Trainer: Sandy Thomson J: Danny Mcmenamin T: Sandy Thomson	100	-	-	-	19%

1	Dual winner over fences last season including on final start over C&D. Seemingly back to best when resuming winning ways in small field at Sedgefield (2m) 4 weeks ago. That race rather fell apart though and revised mark demands more. 3rd Pick 1 Coup De Coeur (Fr) Jockey: Conor O'farrell Trainer: Micky Hammond J: Conor O'farrell T: Micky Hammond	98	-	-	-	9%
