        Verdict

        GAMARET won a bumper at Ffos Las on his racecourse debut and Venetia Williams’ charge has little to beat in a weak contest if taking to hurdling. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder with bumper winner Judicial Law yet to figure over timber while both Sweet Nightingale and Advantura finished down the field in the same race here last month.
