The unexposed VERNI can get back on track following his defeat at Haydock last time out by taking what looks a competitive handicap hurdle. The change in tactics (usually races prominently) didn't appear to work when runner-up last time out and he can bounce back here by defeating the top weight Dell'Arca and last weeks Fontwell runner-up Remiluc. 1. Verni 2. Dell' Arca 3. Remiluc
