Verdict

A poor contest gets Proceedings underway and it looks a straight forward opportunity for Jackson to open his account over hurdles. The selection was a fair second behind Standin Obligation last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. Monsieur Georges rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Jordans Lad and he is sure to be suited by the step up in trip but even that effort leaves him with plenty to find with the selection. Vallica is another with place claims on his latest sixth behind Dragut Torghoud but he also has plenty to find with the selection on official BHB ratings. Of the remainder Jacarado is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but he will have to improve out of all recognition to defeat the confident selection Jackson.
