Race Verdict
COURT IN SESSION (engaged to run at Hereford yesterday) needs to leave behind two wayward efforts in a jumpers' bumper and a hurdle race since the turn of the year but the switch back to chasing could spark a return to form, as he jumped well in the main when fourth (albeit well-held) behind Al Ferof in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham last season and warrants respect now his sights have been lowered. The main dangers could be Sire Collonges and Sweet Irony, both of whom are hurdles winners tackling fences for the first time.
Selection: Court In Session
Danger: Sweet Irony
Alternative: Sire Collonges
