Verdict

COMPLETE UNKNOWN has shown a fairly useful level of form over hurdles despite failing to get his head in front and is taken to gain a deserved first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Galia des Liteaux, who scored by a wide margin on her hurdling bow at Wetherby and rates a big threat. Gary Moore's newcomer Jerrash and Southwell-scorer Charles Ritz need considering too.
