Verdict

CITY CHIEF's connections rarely miss when purchasing from the pointing field and this scorer in May could be another very useful recruit. Complete Unknown will be winning races over hurdles sooner rather than later and is an obvious threat, along with Kincardine, a stablemate of the selection.
