Verdict

FELIX MENDELSSOHN looks the most likely winner of this competitive maiden hurdle with the formerly useful Flat horse putting in his best effort over hurdles when finishing runner-up recently. King's War has had plenty of opportunities over hurdles and can claim another placed by finishing second ahead of Sharps Choice who has placed on three of his last four outings over hurdles.
  1. Felix Mendelssohn
  2. King's War
  3. Sharps Choice
