      Verdict

      Collateral bumper form suggests recent easy course winner ZEROESHADESOFGREY should have the beating of Relentless Dreamer, who found Grade 2 company too hot at Cheltenham last time having looked useful when winning on his hurdling debut at Chepstow. The step up in trip should suit St Johns Point but he'll need to jump better today than he has done so far. Devenish Island was second at Wetherby in May but well beaten over today's trip on his reappearance at Hexham.
