Unjust Law won his only previous start in a course and distance bumper in decent fashion and while this looks tougher under a penalty such is the form of the Henderson horses that he is taken to follow up at the main expense of It Would Appear and The Hollow Bottom. The last mentioned is trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies who is more than capable of producing one to win first time out although he makes limited appeal on pedigree. Roadmaker has had the benefit of three runs already but a place may be the best that he can hope for, while Cleverality makes only limited appeal on pedigree. Jonjo O'Neill's It Would Appear is bred to be useful and could be of interest but Unjust Law has proven form to his name and hails from a yard that could hardly be in better form.
