Verdict

An interesting race by class 5 standards and it could be worth siding with JUST OVER LAND. Disappointing on handicap debut here in the spring, he had proved steadily progressive in novice/maiden hurdles previously and it's highly likely there's more to come from this low-mileage 4-y-o. Delgany Dreamer, on handicap debut, Uncle Arthur and Cardano are others to note.
