Verdict

Shajak is a likely improver for Gordon Elliott’s yard on the back of a hurdling debut at Killarney while Marv Michael is fitted with a tongue-tie having showed ability at Kilbeggan on his hurdling bow. STADIUM TALK is a point-to-point winner and landed a bumper on a trip over to Hexham on his debut under Rules. She’s a half-sister to a winner over timber and gets the vote. Noble Blue has placed between the flags and Ochocinco’s dam is dual bumper winner.
