      Verdict

      Saffron Wells will be understandably popular after a solid runner-up effort at the recent Cheltenham hunter chase evening behind the evergreen Sam Cavallaro and seems sure to be in the shake-up. He was a winning hurdler for Neil King in the past but is taken on with BLETCHLEY CASTLE. The Brookshaw inmate has made all to score in emphatic fashion between the flags the last twice and is taken to do so again around this sharp track with ground to suit and Tommie O'Brien booked. Blackwood Rover and Knockedoutloaded both landed point-to-point successes last time but more looks needed here.
