Verdict

A tricky opening race with a slight preference going to COLLEGE OAK who won a bumper well enough at Sedgefield before finishing a fairly remote second on his hurdling debut at Bangor. He was beaten by a useful sort that day and a reproduction of that effort should see him go close. Giovanni Change showed some good bumper form in Ireland before failing to give weight away on his British debut. No reason why he should not give a good account of himself on his debut. Another hurdle debutante is Black Pirate who has done little wrong on all three bumper appearances and his chances may be reflected in the level of market support.
  1. College Oak
  2. Black Pirate
  3. Giovanni Change
