Verdict

ROOTLESS TREE looks likely to appreciate the step up in distance here and he can make a winning handicap debut by regsitering a victory in this competitive handicap hurdle. Maypole Class was a winner last time out and he can claim second on his first attempt at this distance. Third place can go to Horse Force One who is making his handicap debut.
