Verdict
Unify may make a better chaser than hurdler judged on her debut third over the larger obstacles at Fontwell but she's still to win a race of any description. LARKHALL is hardly prolific himself but one of his two victories under Rules came over course and distance a little under a year ago and his turn may have come around again given he only found one too good off this mark at Uttoxeter nine days ago. Court Of Law has been disappointing but could make the frame if in the mood and he's preferred to Yourholidayisover and Accessallareas.
