This opening juvenile hurdles looks to concern the only two previous winners in the contest who have to shoulder a penalty. Extreme Force caused somewhat of a surprise when winning with such ease for a 28-1 shot at Catterick on hurdles debut, and he should be bang there again. However, EL PICADOR holds valuable C&D form to his name, and he stepped up on his hurdles debut to go one better when coming home a nine-length winner when last seen. As for the remainder, Never Do Nothing was the highest rated in this field on the level, and he represents a shrewd Irish operation who tend to do well with their runners on these shores. He should have a bright future over hurdles.
