Verdict

HELLO JUDGE opened his account over the larger obstacles at Carlisle in October, and having shaped as if still in good form for a long way at Newcastle next time, Ann Hamilton's 7-y-o is fancied to regain the winning thread at the expense of Restandbethankful, who has turned over a new leaf since joining this yard. Warriors Story and Dancewiththewind can fight out third spot.
