    Verdict

    Crooks Peak looked highly progressive prior to running in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham. But he was disappointing that day and now has something to find with CAPITAINE (NAP), who reverts to a shorter trip having failed to find much in the closing stages over 2m3f at Taunton last time. Storm Rising was also behind the selection in the County Hurdle but would have every chance on his form in the autumn at Cheltenham. Arcade Attraction faces a very stiff task for a maiden so Beltor may be best of the rest.
