Verdict

We kick off Cup Day with a maiden hurdle that brings together a number of jumpers who went around at 'The Bool'. SHAMARKAND (7) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding one better at his first attempt in a hurdle there, when he was beaten 10 lengths. Is the winner of a black-type race on the flat. Looks a great chance with that run under the belt. ARDAKAN (1) has been costly the past two, looking all over a winner before butchering the last jump. He'll loom as the winner again, but it'll be heart-in-mouth stuff nearing the last. FERAGO (3) is going over the jumps for the first time, having finished down the track in the Cup at The Bool. Tough test at his jumps debut but he has trialled well. UNTETHERED (10) missed the frame two runs ago in a hurdle at Hamilton, but ran a better race last time and should be around the mix again. CHRISTMAS (2) wasn't far off Shamarkand last start, so he must be considered.
