Verdict

QUOI DE NEUF bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt over fences when runner-up over C&D on return 4 weeks ago and should go well again off 1 lb lower and with improvement likely. Looks Like Murt is becoming expensive to follow but is on a handy mark if it all comes together. It could be significant that Nestor Park bypassed what looked an easier engagement at Wetherby later.
