Verdict

Not that much strength in depth in this like a lot of Northern novice hurdles and a lot of these won’t come into their own until they are given a chance in handicaps. Echo Express created a good impression when winning his bumper at Doncaster and should continue his progress switched to hurdles. Silver Bullion is a similar type having taken a bumper on his debut and this sounder surface may well suit him better than the heavy ground that looked to cause his defeat at Ayr on his second start. Star Of Milan and The Delray Munkay both look capable of picking up a novice hurdle but over further and ROCKALZARO is given the vote with the McCain yard going well as he goes hurdling for the first time.
  1. Rockalzaro
  2. Echo Express
  3. Silver Bullion
