Verdict

The vote goes to BARTON SNOW, who is unbeaten in three hunters and proved his wellbeing when sauntering home in an open point last month. Jeffery's Cross looks rock-solid in this context and he is clearly the main danger, with What A Glance best of the rest.

4	Winner of first hunter over C&D last spring and solid second at Cheltenham next time. Has performed with credit on 2 of his 3 starts in handicap chases this season and he's a big player for last year's winning yard. 2nd Pick 4 Jeffery's Cross (Ire) Jockey: Mr Sean O'connor Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Mr Sean O'connor T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	39%

3	Would have a big chance if able to reproduce his form from a couple of seasons back and while he failed to fire on sole start under Rules last term, that was in the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival. Spin between the flags in December will have blown away the cobwebs and he needs a second look. 3rd Pick 3 What A Glance Jockey: Mr Frederick Philipson-Stow Trainer: Tom Britten J: Mr Frederick Philipson-Stow T: Tom Britten	98	-	-	-	13%
