Verdict

The standard set by DOUX PRETENDER is hard to match here and with his Doncaster form having been well franked he’s hard to overlook here. Renwick may well need a stiffer test in time but he looks to have ability and he should be able to make the frame here. Barley Hill is another hurdling debutante and he too has shown that he has ability and he should be able to make his mark also.
