      Verdict

      This has cut up badly but still features three previous hurdle winners and a three-times Flat winner. Uptendownone took a bumper at Fontwell last month and is likely to have had plenty of schooling while Sureness still appears to be heading in the right direction. But Kiama Bay didn't beat much at Newton Abbot last month and Conducting's only victory over timber so far came in a seller. BATHWICK STREET gets fast ground for the first time over hurdles and can make it third-time lucky, though will need to jump better than he did last time at Stratford.
