Verdict

GARRY CLERMONT was very impressive over this C&D last time out and he should be able to follow that up here for a repeat success despite the penalty as he remains open to progression. Hijack failed to shine on his bumper debut at Fakenham but a lot more can be expected now from him on his first run over hurdles from this leading yard, while Dogon has clearly not shown his best form yet in the UK but should be good enough to finish in the placings in this novice hurdle.
  1. Garry Clermont
  2. Hijack
  3. Dogon
