      Verdict

      Bush Warrior has finished closest of those with experience having found only one too good on the Polytrack in March. For Ayman was spotted making late progress on his debut at Kempton in October but Boy In The Bar was well beaten at Haydock. Al Senad proved a disappointment when sent off favourite at Pontefract on his return. He'll be looking to make amends but looks nothing special and a chance is taken on the newcomer TELMEYD. The William Haggas-trained colt has plenty of speed in his pedigree and makes more appeal than Belletriste.
