Verdict

NATTER JACK CROAK appeared to appreciate the step up in trip when finishing runner-up last time and he is taken to open his account under rules in this opening maiden hurdle. Benechenko has looked as if stamina would be his forte in six outings to date and as at Bangor last time out he can chase home the selection while Babytaggle can claim third on his debut for this yard with Rhaegar another worthy of consideration.
  1. Natter Jack Croak
  2. Benechenko
  3. Babytaggle
