Verdict

SUNARRI is the one to beat on the ratings and he is taken to see off Aint She The Lady and Last Of The Bunch. George Charlton's gelding has run three solid races over hurdles, with the best being his debut second to Sonowyouno. He seemed to get this trip well when seen a couple of months ago and a first success looms. World Of Events needs a market check on his hurdling debut but the decision to start off over this trip looks a wise move, Aint She The Lady has been running well in slightly lesser races, whilst Last Of The Bunch ran with great credit behind Alegralil last time out and given any improvement at all she won't be far away. Grand Zouki looks one for handicaps, former hunter chaser Devil Water looks as if he needs further although he ran with credit behind Candy Creek in a decent contest here last time out, but the others look to be making up the numbers. Sunarri is fancied to get off the mark.
