Verdict

After a ready success at Stratford, WITNESS PROTECTION went down narrowly to a gutsy sort at Wetherby last time and, with the drop in trip unlikely to pose too many problems, he's fancied to get back to winning ways. Point winner Revels Hill should strip fitter for his hurdling debut, so he's regarded as a danger along with Can You Call.
