Verdict

Brady was well backed when winning a Kelso bumper on his racecourse debut his breeding suggests he'll be suited by this step up in trip and the switch to hurdles. Next Exit was beaten at odds-on at Perth last month and is proving expensive to follow under Rules while points winner My Oh Mount Brown was well beaten on his debut under Rules at Aintree. INCH ROVER went close in a couple of bumpers, including one here, but always looked likely to improve once tackling hurdles and gets his chance today - he gets the nod.
