    Verdict

    Considering he was a 90-rated handicapper on the Flat, ITTIRAD has been a shade disappointing so far over hurdles having found one too good on a couple of occasions at Stratford. But he should put matters right here getting weight from Odin and last month's Perth second Trend Is My Friend. Imakessense has hinted at ability but his latest run at Huntingdon was a backward step.
