        Verdict

        Fair Question is out to get the losses back and can do so at the expense of Christmas Truce and Smithlyn in the opening race on the card. Fair Question was quite well thought of when making a winning debut at Newmarket for John Dunlop four years ago, and proved his worth by capturing the German St Leger. He was expected to make up into a decent hurdler, and might yet do so, although he has been disappointing up to now since put over timber. He would have needed his outing at Towcester recently though, his first for a year, and is surely worth persevering with in the belief that his class will emerge sooner or later. He meets nothing special here and is taken to score, with Christmas Truce put up as the main danger. The Ian Williams-trained five-year-old was a winner on the Flat for George Moore and has shown a modicum of ability over hurdles. He might not be good enough to beat the selection but can make the frame at least, while Smithlyn who is less battle hardened, has scope but will probably need the run. The rest make no appeal and this really does look the best opportunity yet for Fair Question to start to make a name for himself at the winter game.
