Verdict

A good opener and it’s hard to see any of these not having some further success over hurdles with he race not lacking any depth. Expensive purchase Chantry House won a strong Warwick bumper and looks an exciting prospect for novice hurdles but he’s been off a while and may just need these in the conditions. SHANG TANG caught the eye on his hurdles debut and a slight improvement will see him go close as that experience will have brought him on. Previous hurdles winners Glory And Fortune and Stolen Silver can’t be ignored especially the former after his sound Haydock effort last time. Pileon another hurdling debutant who can’t be left out of the picture adds to the interest.
  1. Shang Tang
  2. Chantry House
  3. Glory And Fortune
