      Verdict

      ALASI was a decent hurdler, winning a Listed race at Wetherby on her reappearance, and won well on her chasing debut at Huntingdon despite early hesitancy. She'll have learned from that and is difficult to oppose today. Bellaboosh has won over hurdles and is from the same family as staying chaser Topsham Bay so should handle fences, though she returns from a break here as does winning pointer Jacalou. The others are probably best watched.
