In depth

Verdict

Dual hurdles winner VICENTE makes his chasing debut in this. A half-brother to a couple of winning chasers, Paul Nicholls' charge may well be good enough to get the better of Warden Hill. The latter ran well enough at Carlisle on his first start over fences despite showing signs of his inexperience. He'll be no pushover but Hazzaat looks up against it on his chasing bow.
