Verdict

ACT OF INNOCENCE looked an exciting prospect when making an impressive winning debut over hurdles at this C&D last month and can defy a penalty. Blues Singer was far from disgraced when highly tried at Kempton and this test is much more suitable on return, while Paul Nicholls' expensive recruit Minella Yoga is one to note having made a winning hurdles debut at Fairyhouse for previous connections.
