Verdict

GOWITHTHEFLOW was just touched off on rules debut last month and he can go one better by taking this competitive looking novice hurdle. Melrose Boy, a winner at Cheltenham last time out can claim second on his return to conditions company while Mr Whipped, penalised for a success in a three runner contest last month is taken to claim third on this occasion.
  1. Gowiththeflow
  2. Melrose Boy
  3. Mr Whipped
