      Verdict

      Second in four of his last five starts under Rules and also in a point-to-point earlier this season, What Of It will probably find one too good again here in the shape of START ROYAL. Alan Hill's nine-year-old had the better hunter chase form last season and made all for an easy victory between the flags earlier this month. Citizens Arrest has won five times on the point-to-point circuit but his jumping is a bit of a concern over these stiffer fences, though he's still preferred to Swallows Delight and Bell On Bike.
