Verdict

A dual novice winner over hurdles, Gentle Jolie makes her chasing bow on her first start since May. Poldark Cross and Graystown failed to complete last time while both Instant Replay and Road Warrior have failed to threaten since winning at the track earlier in the year. Bandit D'Ainay will be sharper for a recent comeback but the same comment applies to OSCARS LEADER, who faded in the closing stages at Warwick on his first start over fences but has won off a similar mark over hurdles here in the past.
