Verdict

A potentially warm maiden for the track with the vote going to ISSUING AUTHORITY, who pulled clear with another promising type on his Uttoxeter hurdling debut and looks sure to improve. Shomen Uchi was far from disgraced in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree when last seen and rates a useful prospect for hurdling, while Heezer Geezer can't be ignored either having shown a good level of form on his both starts in this sphere.
