Verdict

NAP HAND brings lots of potential to this sphere (a fairly useful Flat scorer) and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward from his hurdling debut Kempton third and get off the mark. Nicky Henderson's useful French recruit La Pinsonniere rates a big threat though with Dinofromberlais, Ilitch and Thickthorn Tom all worthy of consideration for minor honours.
