      Verdict

      Perfect Moment has been running in much better races than this and Mike Roberts’ charge will be fancied to make the most of this drop in class but a set of hurdles and change of stables could make all the difference for former pointer CAPTAIN TOMMY, who blew the start in a Taunton bumper on his debut under the Rules and is better than that. Mylittlerunaway was well beaten in a conditionals’ bumper here last month and will need to improve.
