Verdict

Placed twice in bumpers, ex-pointer Methodtothemadness also made the frame on her hurdles bow at Perth and that experience will stand her in good stead today. Black Ebony started favourite for a Hexham bumper in April and found only one too good while Irish Odyssey has won a bumper but hasn’t raced since April of last year. JELSKI ran in the Champion Bumper having winning at Ffos Las in January. He finished last but this is a much less taxing assignment and he will have had plenty of schooling. Sense Of Adventure could be an interesting long-term prospect.
