        Verdict

        BUBSY BURBRIDGE would have caught Citrus in another stride at Plumpton and can go one better here if handling the easier going. Compadre is surely better than he showed at Chepstow and his bumper win came on soft ground but Katara Bay ran a shocker when favourite for a bumper at Warwick in January and will need to show plenty of improvement for the switch to hurdles. Former pointer Testify is preferred to Pikarnia of the others.
