      Verdict

      Halla San will surely find this too sharp and Spring Jim's best form is also over further. It's almost four years since Scriptwriter last ran on the Flat and both recent hurdles wins came over 2m4f. Just Lille hasn't raced since October but would have claims if fully wound up and is preferred to Gold Rules, who has his stamina to prove over this trip. SUNWISE didn't really take to hurdles for Paul Nicholls but has now joined William Haggas and could be well weighted in this if reproducing the form of his defeat of the useful Pittoni at Leopardstown two years ago - he gets a tentative vote.
