Verdict

SQUIRE DANAGHER hasn't been foot perfect in the jumping department so far but his latest Worcester second suggests he should still have a race like this in him. Jennie Candlish Irish recruit T Or Coffey is second choice ahead of Whatyouwaitingfor.

2	Fairly useful 4-time winner on the Flat at up 1½m for Andrew Oliver in Ireland. Much better effort in Worcester hurdles for new yard in recent months when second of 9 in novice 24 days ago. His hurdling hasn't looked the most assured but probably still the one to beat. 1st Pick 2 Squire Danagher Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Ben Jones T: Ben Pauling	98	-	-	-	25%	Scratched

8	Modest form in bumpers and performed to a similar level when third of 6 on 18.5f course hurdle debut a fortnight ago, losing second late on. The drop back to 2m may help. 3rd Pick 8 Whatyouwaitingfor (Ire) Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Sam Twiston-Davies T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	88	-	-	-	39%
