      Verdict

      Iniciar came good in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle last month but David Pipe's charge has to concede weight to the higher-rated BONNE QUESTION in this. The latter only found one too good when sent off favourite at Taunton last time and that still looks good enough form in this company. Point-to-point winner Misfits was well beaten on his recent hurdling bow while Sioux Chieftain is rated much higher on the Flat than Notts So Blue but goes hurdling for the first time for his new trainer.
