Verdict
Caught In The Act won a Newton Abbot bumper for Grant Cann but is possibly best watched on his first start for Sue Bradburne. Pyjama Game was placed in all four bumper starts and may have found 2m4f too far on his hurdles bow at Perth in April but hasn't raced since. Donald McCain's pair Be True and Red Rocco can't be ignored, however, while Simply Ned has plenty of scope for improvement but we'll give another chance to ZARU. He kept on well when fourth on his hurdling debut over C&D in May and will know more today.
