Verdict

REE OKKA posted an excellent first outing under Rules when second in a novice hurdle at Aintree and, with that form having been boosted numerous times since, he may well prove capable of going one better for all this strikes as another above-average event. Complete Unknown is a threat on the back of a solid start for Paul Nicholls and The Plimsoll Line isn't without a chance.
