Verdict

Well Educated could make up into a useful sort for John Quinn after shaping with promise in competitive bumpers, finishing close up each time. This is a fair starting point but more experienced campaigners may have his measure. Irish raider Charcor is respected on the best of his hurdling form for Jessica Harrington and will find this far easier than the ultra-competitive handicap hurdle he contested at the Punchestown Festival on first start for his new yard. However, TRAILBOSS looked pretty green when scoring at Newton Abbot and gives the impression he has more to come so can to defy a penalty for his in-form yard.
