Verdict
Gold Opera, third at Ayr when last seen, looks the pick of those with experience ahead of Solway Prince but this can go to a newcomer. COURT DISMISSED is the selection as he won a point-to-point at Kirikistown in March and is following a well-trodden path for bumper horses from his yard. Becauseshesaidso is a half-brother to a debut bumper winner so is respected, though it's a worry to see him wearing a hood on his racecourse introduction. The market will be the best guide regarding the remainder.
