      Verdict

      Comely may do better over hurdles having looked one-paced in bumpers. Flat winner Owners Day made a successful switch to hurdles at Wincanton and Musselburgh scorer Taurian has a similar profile, but also a 7lb penalty. BEYOND MEASURE made much of the running when fourth at Uttoxeter last month. This sharper track should suit Oliver Sherwood’s mare, who is taken to open her account over timber.
