        Verdict

        Jass,Alfabet Souk and Asrar are three against the field in a competitive finale and the vote is given to Jass. The selection was the best of these in bumpers is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Alfabet Souk rates the main danger on his latest second behind Smart Tom he is another that is sure to know his job on his first run over hurdles but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Asrar is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has had plenty of chances. Of the remainder Cromwell Court is from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Jass who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
