Verdict
Definite Future was only beaten a neck in an Aintree bumper in May but SUPER SAM (NAP) was second at Ffos Las in the same month and that looks stronger form. That race has already produced a couple of hurdle winners so Venetia Williams' charge gets the nod. How About It was taking on decent opposition on his debut under Rules having won a point-to-point in April and is also interesting. Bridal Suite is another winner between the flags while four-year-old debutant Albert D'Olivate is a full brother to winning jumper Umberto D'Olivate and worth noting for future reference.
