        Verdict

        Not a very competitive contest and it is likely to rest between Bal De Rio and SHINING ROMEO and the latter gets the vote. The five-year-old continues to improve over hurdles and this step up in trip can help him to successfully concede weight to Brian Ellison's hurdling newcomer. Jungle Girl should probably be checked out in the market given that the yard has had a couple of recent winners, while the same probably applies to Nemean Lion , although his trainer may have handicaps more in mind than this.
