        Verdict

        Not a contest that will live too long in the memory and we take Brastar Jelois to see off Blushing Hilary and Bonneta. We haven't seen too much of Brastar Jelois over hurdles of late as a campaign at low grade flat meetings appears to have been mapped out. He jumps adequately enough and is worth a chance in what was always going to be moderate fare. Blushing Hilary brings winning form to the table. First time blinkers undoubtedly assisted in getting her first piece of winning form on the board at Market Rasen. Bonneta shaped with a degree of promise in a Wetherby mares' bumper but hasn't shown a lot since.Golden Run does not appear to have the greatest of hurdling techniques. Culbann hasn't done a lot under rules but did post a recent victory in a point-to-point. Champagne Only drops into the grade following an inauspicious campaign in novice hurdles. Brastar Jelois can be put forward at the most minimal of stakes.
