Verdict

Not the strongest Novice Hurdle around, so the ideal chance for one of these runners to get off the mark over obstacles. Tim Vaughan and Alan Johns link up with Jaunty Flyer, and this £65,000 purchase ought to be on the premises given his ability to handle cut, and his versatility over a variety of trips, whilst hurdling debutante Haasab is by far the most interesting of the Laura Morgan trained pair. However, TEESCOMPONENTS LAD really deserves to get his head in front, and whilst he tackles this longer trip for the first time, he's bred to stay, and has done precious little wrong over hurdles thus far and therefore rates as a marginal pick.
  1. Teescomponents Lad
  2. Jaunty Flyer
  3. Haasab
