      Verdict

      Kitchapoly made a winning start over fences at Worcester and should make a bold bid to defy his penalty. But the four-year-old only receives 4lb from KNIGHT OF PLEASURE, who was the better horse over hurdles last season. Gary Moore's charge won at Fontwell around this time last year over the smaller obstacles and has run four times in Grade 2 and Grade 3 races. It's difficult to see the exposed and inconsistent Regal One giving weight to two potentially promising novices while Garrahalish will need further than this over fences.
