    Verdict

    It's unusual for Paul Nicholls to throw a three-year-old into a handicap this early in the season so CLIFFS OF DOVER's presence in this is a significant one. He started favourite for a Class 2 event at Market Rasen after making a winning debut at Worcester and Harry Cobden's claim means he is only 3lb out of the handicap proper and still getting 28lb from the in-form Moonday Sun, who looks the danger given Hint Of Mint hasn't raced since March 2015 and My Brother Sylvest's only recent win over hurdles came in a seller at Southwell.
