Verdict

This is a very big day for the Colin Tizzard team and they can get off to the best possible start with the promising AINCHEA who looked one to follow with a very encouraging debut at Cheltenham. The biggest threat comes from Just a Sting who won both bumpers before narrowly going down on his hurdles debut at Exeter. Also running well in second last time was Shanroe Saint and he enters calculations given he is clearly going the right way.
  1. Ainchea
  2. Just A Sting
  3. Shanroe Saint
