Verdict

This is an above-average novice hurdle for the venue with some nice types lining up and some good form lines in evidence. It is hard to take the form of West To The Bridge's Aintree success seriously and he looks vulnerable under a penalty. Coole Well and Manning Estate clashed at Plumpton with the former overcoming a late mistake to score with enough in and to suggest he may confirm the form. On The Slopes and Little Vern chased home a useful sort in a bumper on the same card, but preference is for another hurdling debutant, TEL'ART, who looked a useful prospect when scoring at Bangor and is related to some smart types.
  1. Tel'art
  2. Coole Well
  3. Manning Estate
