Verdict

BUGISE SEAGULL was well prepared following a year off the track when winning at Catterick 3 weeks ago and, with the promise of more to come, the 4 lb he receives from Supremely West may prove decisive. High Treason is bred to relish this trip now hurdling and he commands respect, too.

  1. BUGISE SEAGULL (IRE)
  2. SUPREMELY WEST (IRE)
  3. HIGH TREASON
