Verdict

Expect FUTURE PROOF to be very skimpy odds come post time and although he is head and shoulders above anything else on form he is far from a shoe-in and caution is advised around his price. Still, he certainly deserves a win for his long string of placed efforts but that wait for an elusive win is worrying. Best of the unraced contestants could be Pictures Of Home who is nicely bred and is related to the useful hurdler/chaser Blu Cavalier. Womalko made a fair debut in a point-to-point contest in February and if translating that to hurdles, he may run a fair race.
