Verdict

ALMOST GOTAWAY made a promising start over fences when third at Stratford and is taken to build on it here at the chief expense of Jac Jumper who was a resurgent runner-up over C&D last time. Police Academy is another to consider reverted to this sphere along with in-form pair Crypto Currency and Blazing Court.
