      Verdict

      A useful handicapper on the Flat for Luca Cumani, Bourne got off to a flying start over timber for his new yard when scoring at Catterick. He'll do well under a penalty giving so much weight to EAGLE ROCK, however, and the latter is preferred. He went close in a Grade 2 event last month and should be opening his account over hurdles with a similar effort here. Civil Unrest and Kaolak have plenty to find with the two principals judged on their form to date, while Balivernier and hurdling newcomer Unex Goya make no appeal.
