Verdict
Gold Guest, Barking Mad and Treacysdream are three against the field in a wideopen affair and the tentative vote is given to Barking Mad. The selection was a fair sort at his best on the flat, is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and he will not need to be any thing special to take a hand in the finish. Treacysdream is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Hill Forts Timmy but he has given the impression he will be suited further and for that he is opposed. Of the remainder Dyneburg has shown a modicum of ability in two runs to date and is another with place claims but he may do better in handicaps and for the winner we return to Barking Mad.
