      In depth

      Verdict

      Hunters Tweed, a useful hurdler at best, looks a horse with a future over fences and he should outclass his rivals. Mister Bigtime has plenty of experience over fences and turned in his best performace when runner-up to Moor Lane at Newbury. He had several useful rivals behind that day, but while he will have no trouble winning a novice event, he will find the selection a tough nut to crack. Chasing debutante Jungle Jinks, a dual hurdles winner, faces a tough task on his debut over fences, but he may be good enough for the minor honours.
