Verdict
Hold Your Fort has shown nothing in two runs under Rules and ICEMAN DENNIS will have no excuses on his hurdling debut. He became a bit disappointing in bumpers but is a half-brother to the smart Cilaos Emery so jumping should be his game. Sharp Note is probably progressing but shouldn’t trouble the selection.
