Verdict

BE AWARE was no match for the hugely exciting Lulamba in the Henry VIII at Sandown but still held on well for second and stands out on these terms back in Grade 2 company. No Questions Asked possibly found the race coming a bit soon when disappointing at Ascot last time, so could well bounce back and provide the chief threat.

2	Useful hurdler who landed a Stratford handicap on debut over fences in October and even better form when runner-up in graded novices both starts since, latterly in Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown. Hood back on and very much the one to beat on these terms. 1st Pick 2 Be Aware (Fr) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	100	-	-	-	84%

4	Pretty useful 3-time novice hurdle winner who barely put a foot wrong when making a winning return/chase debut at Ascot. Impressed with the way he went through the race when runner-up in Newbury Grade 2 prior to finding less than seemed likely back at Ascot last time. Must bounce back. 2nd Pick 4 No Questions Asked (Ire) Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Ben Jones T: Ben Pauling	96	-	-	-	34%

1	Useful hurdler who has already bettered that form over fences, following up his successful Uttoxeter chase debut with a convincing victory at Cheltenham. Made a bad mistake when pulled up in Sandown Grade 1 and can have his performance in the Wayward Lad marked up a little. 3rd Pick 1 Alnilam (Fr) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	91	-	-	-	20%
