Verdict

All three of the chasing debutantes has something to offer with The Boss’s Dream and Bobo Mac looking the most interesting of the pair the former having slipped in the handicap from his last winning hurdles mark. Bentelimar will be more at home over this trip having shaped well over 2m last time out but giving weight to TERREFORT looks to be a tough ask who hails from last year’s winning stable of Nicky Henderson and looks to be a progressive sort. Exitas has been in fine form but the increased mark looks to have ruled him out of the equation here.
  1. Terrefort
  2. Bentelimar
  3. The Boss's Dream
