In depth
Verdict
Gumais put up a fair effort at Leicester on Sunday in defeat and George Scott’s gelding is likely to carry plenty of support as a consequence but UNITARIAN has been campaigned in three starts over shorter and hails from a family that Karl Burke knows particularly well. Wholetthedogsout has already had a try in a nursery and the visor is reached for today while Ed Dunlop has a fair strike rate with his runners at Ffos Las so Queen's Eyot must be respected despite some ugly numbers on the board.
