Verdict

CAPTAIN TEAGUE was still green when third in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival and has the ability to make a winning start over hurdles in this. The progressive Resplendent Grey has achieved the most over hurdles so far so is next best ahead of Rock House, who looks a good prospect.

  1. CAPTAIN TEAGUE (IRE)
