Verdict

Successful in a Grade 1 novice here in April, MIRABAD made an encouraging return over hurdles when second in a listed race at Carlisle and he could still have more to offer as a chaser. He gets the vote ahead of JPR One, who showed that he retains all of his enthusiasm when defying top weight in a Cheltenham handicap on his reappearance, with Brookie also considered.
