      Verdict

      Good Company certainly isn't keeping any here and has leading claims but we'll suggest Back Among Friends. Sunisa shaped quite well on her chase bow but has gone the wrong way since but the two aforementioned runners are hardly rock solid. Good Company won a maiden hurdle in Ireland and showed a fair level of form. He made a pleasing start to his chasing career behind Oslot but failed to build on that at Warwick in a race won by Sobers. The selection managed to get seventeen lengths closer to Sobers at Chepstow than Good Company managed but it would be foolish to take that literally. That wasn't too bad a run and he didn't shape too badly behind Benetwood prior to that so Back Among Friends gets the most nominal of tips.
