        Verdict

        Better Moment has progressed well over hurdles of late, winning two of his last three, and can make a winning debut over the larger obstacles off a fair mark. Martin Pipe's charge is sure to have been well schooled and goes particularly well on a fast surface so should take plenty of beating. Yakareem showed some promise on his first start over fences but also has his share of temperament and is not one to trust implicitly while Ulusaba suffers from a breathing problem and has proved disappoionting of late.
