With no fewer than four horses who finished second on their only start over obstacles so far this looks a very good maiden hurdle, and LES ARCEAUX could be the one to side with. Not beaten far at all on hurdling debut last time for these top connections, if building on that performance he could be tough to beat; he also has probably the best Flat form on offer here. Galtymore lost the race in the stewards' room last time out and wouldn't be a maiden anymore otherwise so is an obvious danger, as well as hurdling newcomer Park Paddocks.
