Verdict

REALLYNTRUTHFULLY made an encouraging start to his Rules career when fourth in a course bumper a month ago and with this trip sure to suit now hurdling, he could be the answer. Tarras Wood isn't easy to weigh up but is a big danger on the form he displayed when second at Wincanton, with Secret des Dieux also considered for his in-form yard.
