        Verdict

        Nicky Richards looks to have found a good opportunity for SOFT RISK to remain unbeaten. The bumper winner scored at Ayr on his hurdling debut and can defy a penalty in this moderate company. Hector Master looked beaten when falling at Perth on his hurdling bow though is still preferred to stablemate Fethard Glory while bumper winner Scots Poet has failed to figure over timber so far and Racks Cross is fitted with a tongue-tie.
