Verdict

The fact that Nicky Henderson could have opted for far easier pickings for hurdling debutant SOLDIER IN ACTION is perhaps a tip in itself and, providing the market vibes are positive, the 105-rated Flat performer could take some stopping en route to a possible Triumph Hurdle tilt. Project Bluebook and Fidux also have that race in their sights and both are entitled to the utmost respect after impressive victories last time out. 1. Soldier In Action 2. Fidux 3. Project Bluebook
