Verdict

A plethora of unknowns, with very little in the way of hurdles form on offer means that this race doesn't exactly qualify as the most enticing betting heat. Mulrsheen Durkin has largely disappointed on the Flat since joining Neville Bycroft, but having cost 33,000 gns (80-rated) is worthy of note on hurdles debut. Beach Break represents an in-form Donald McCain, and he offered something to work upon when a well held runner up at Bangor last month, but the obvious pick would appear to be the Dan Skelton trained SOLO SAXOPHONE. By Frankel, the assumption is that hurdling wasn't the overall master-plan, but he showed a fair level of form on the Flat in Ireland for Dermot Weld without winning, and is a noteworthy hurdles newcomer given his new connections.
