      Verdict

      ROTHMAN continued his good progress over fences with a win at Fontwell last time. This doesn't look much tougher and Paul Nicholl's charge can go in again. Kerryhead Storm is upped 5lb for winning in heavy going at Leicester and will find today's surface fast enough. But My Brother Sylvest is at home on fast going and slips further down the weights as he attempts to end a long losing run. The remainder are harder to fancy with Honey Pound perhaps coming out best of them.
