Verdict

A useful-looking novice hurdle and the betting could be interesting, with Nicky Henderson's JANGO BAIE chanced before market clues. Tellherthename, Pyrotechnic, Ten Lengths Tom and Mighty Moth are all interesting also first time up in this sphere. The penalised Soldierofthestorm needs to jump better than he did when winning at Warwick in May but could improve.

  1. JANGO BAIE (FR)
  2. TELLHERTHENAME (IRE)
  3. PYROTECHNIC (FR)
