Verdict
ADJUVANT, four-times a winner on the Flat and rated 95, was in touch when sprawling on landing at the last on his hurdling debut at Ludlow and can gain compensation. Evenwood Sonofagun was placed five times in Ireland and started odds-on at Worcester in June but did not get the run of the race. Court In The Act made all for an impressive bumper victory at Fontwell while Fiercely Proud completed a double when landing a Listed bumper at Cheltenham before running in the championship bumpers there and Aintree. Mount Olympus won three times from five starts on the Flat in the summer and is greatly respected.
