Verdict

Bedlam Boy gets the confident vote over Frankie Figg and Bow School. The selection is from a stable in top form and although he was a little disappointing on his hurdling debut, he should benefit from the experience and he looks worth another chance against some moderate rivals. Frankie Figg is also from a stable enjoying a purple patch of form and although his breeding suggests he will be better over fences in time, he is certainly not one to dismiss lightly. Bow School is the stablemate of Frankie Figg and he folded quite tamely on his debut in a bumper so will need to improve to make his mark today. Martin Todhunter's Ben Nelly may prove best of the remainder, but Bedlam Boy sets a fair benchmark for the rest and gets the vote.
