Verdict

All of these arrive with a question to answer so it could pay to side with largely reliable hurdler KALKAROO to make a winning start in this sphere. Joyau Allen can also play a prominent role starting out over fences under the care of Jamie Snowden, while Walk The Plank is weighted to go well if back to his best.

1	Brother to high-class hurdler/chaser Envoi Allen. Lightly raced since his winning bumper debut and rarely threatened over hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season. Has joined Jamie Snowden ahead of chase debut and needs considering.

6	Well backed and much improved on third chase start when opening account at Huntingdon (2m) in March. Had excuses next 2 outings but a well-beaten eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in July. Cheekpieces go on for first time now and handily weighted if back on his A-game. 3rd Pick 6 Walk The Plank (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Hammond Trainer: Clare Hobson J: Charlie Hammond T: Clare Hobson	93	-	-	-	23%
