Verdict

SEARCH FOR A MYTH has returned better than ever this summer and might be able to complete a hat-trick back hurdling. Bumper winner Onlyamatteroftime should have more to come over hurdles now handicapping and is a possible big threat. The other J P McManus runner Ena Baie was better than the result here last month and has dropped to a good mark judged on her form at the start of last season.
