Verdict

Happy Company has had a break since well beaten on the Flat in May but won over this course and distance earlier under Ned Fox. BARI BREEZE has only found one too good in half on his eight hurdle starts to date. Back over a longer trip, he may finally enjoy a change of fortune even though a switch of stables has clearly benefited My Gift To You. Punches Cross is probably best over fences but there should be more to come from the four-year-old Shengai Enki.
