      Verdict

      Weld Arab has threatened to open his account over hurdles on more than one occasion but disappointed again last time. Arty Campbell is another who has yet to win over timber in 12 attempts now despite regularly placing so a chance is taken KNIGHT COMMANDER improves for a change of yards. He’s shown little in three starts so far but Richard Johnson’s presence suggests better is expected on his debut for Olly Murphy. Findusatgorcombe won a point-to-point maiden in May but hasn’t figured in four starts under Rules.
