      Verdict

      Moot Court fell and brought down Harde Fashion on the final circuit here two weeks ago. Both could figure today with a clear round and Tea For Free may have more to offer. Reilly is much better than he showed when favourite at Bangor last month but PULLING STUMPS may have more scope and he holds both Moot Court and Beep Beep on his third here last month when he was staying on well in the closing stages.
