    Verdict

    Bumper winner COGRY has a future over hurdles judged on his debut third at Uttoxeter and he'll know more today. He can get the better of Come On Laurie, who has shown a decent level of form in placed efforts at Plumpton and Towcester but has an extra half-mile to cover here on very heavy going. Saffron Wells was beaten in a modest four-runner race at Fakenham while Whiskey Chaser and Tiller Belle are making their hurdling debuts, though do have some scope.
