Verdict
A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual in these types of events the market will be all important but the principals look to be Unjust Law, Bally's Bro, and Glendara and the tentative vote is given to Unjust Law. The selection is a well bred Dushyantor gelding out of winning hurdler Go Tally-Ho. He hails from a yard that does well in this sphere and will not need to be anything special to win this on his debut. Bally¿s Bro is another well bred sort that could go well but he is bred to do better over a much longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Glendara is another worthy of respect as he related to a 12 furlong flat winner so should be noted in the market. This is a difficult race to call but for the winner to Unjust Law who is taken to win on his debut
