Verdict

A testing little punting puzzle with Paul Nicholls running two in this although you could have slight doubts about both. Moabit clearly hated the Fibresand on the Flat last time out and now reverts to hurdles 7lb above the mark off which he won his only handicap over obstacles and Challico makes his handicap debut off a high enough mark having looked a little quirky on occasions. Bandsman has some potential but he might just need this and his hurdling could do with brushing up and it’s ATTEST who looks the one to side with here after looking a little unfortunate at Cheltenham last time out. Rio Bravo faces a tough task in terms of the grade but if he gains an easy lead he could be dangerous if allowed to dictate the race from the front although this trip could be a touch sharp for him.
