    Verdict

    Coup De Pinceau made an impressive start over fences at Exeter where he made all. He only had two rivals to beat but jumped well and will take some catching. However, he finished 13 lengths behind Red River in a novices' hurdle at Wincanton last October and the winner, who also scored at Musselburgh in February, makes his chasing bow and receives 10lb. THECLOCKISTICKING has some fine form over hurdles in tough company and had a nice introduction over fences at Fakenham when only having one to beat so he can go in again though Darius Des Bois, a winner over hurdles at Newbury in March and the youngest in the line-up, is bred to be a long-distance chaser so he's another to keep an eye on. Head To The Stars had plenty of decent form over timber though will need to get over his fall on his chasing bow at Exeter.
