Verdict

It's hard to see past the Paul Nicholls-trained DOLOS in this four runner novice hurdle. The selection disappointed at Cheltenham on his penultimate outing but has Grade 1 placings to his name and ran well off a mark of 132 at Ascot last time out. Second place can go the way of Cup Of Ambition who finished fourth on his hurdling debut last time out with Gask Ridge and The Groove fighting it out for third place.
  1. Dolos
