    Verdict

    UNIONISTE looks in a different league to these rivals having won three times already this year. He's run with credit in the championship events at Cheltenham and Aintree and should prove much too good for the once-useful Kayf Supreme, who was beaten a long way into second on his debut for new connections at Woodford last month. Red Devils Lad won a handicap hurdle at Navan in November but ran poorly in a similar race to this at Ludlow last month and Woodfleet has been in poor form between the flags.
