Verdict

TOSS OF A COIN is taken to build on his Exeter success before Christmas and provide the Paul Nicholls yard with a third win in this race in the last 4 years. Fellow hurdle winner Ballybentragh is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the hurdle newcomers.
