        Verdict

        Cogital has never won on Turf but did score over 2m on Polytrack in August and Amanda Perrett’s only runner over hurdles here in five years was a winner. Fontwell winner Neff ran well under a penalty at Ascot and has every chance of returning to the winner’s enclosure. Adicci has placed in all three starts in bumpers this year and should make a hurdler but so should ENDLESSLY. Aidan Coleman gets the leg up on Olly Murphy’s dual all-weather winner, who should have too much pace for these if taking to jumping. Midnight Sonata is better than his form figures might suggest and shouldn’t be ignored.
