In depth
Verdict
Toscan Genius, another decent ride for the champion, found only the odds-on Supremely West too good on his hurdling debut here a week ago and has nothing to fear from third Fly Awhile Johnny on that run. Breizh River, though not really jumps bred, has placed in a couple of bumpers while Workhardplayhard won a point-to-point bumper in February when trained by today’s pilot. ELECTRIC JET is a half-brother to a bumper winner who placed over hurdles. He has placed in a point himself and this is not a difficult start to his career under Rules.
