Verdict

COUNT ADHEMAR has started well over fences and this good-jumping type can gain a first win in this sphere at the chief expense of Imperial Bede who is fancied to bounce back from a lesser effort at Hereford after a break. Both Heads Or Harps and Bonza Boy can't be discounted either in this competitive handicap.
