Verdict

Irish raider FORMAL BID won over fences at Downpatrick last month and looks to have every chance on today's terms back over the smaller obstacles. Gordon Elliott's charge is preferred to Gud Day, who has rattled-up a string of seconds in plating company of late, but Occasionally Yours posted a better effort when third at Fakenham last time and could be thereabouts. Vinnie My Boy is another returning to hurdling and should figure at the weights.
