Verdict

After he bounced back from a poor display on debut to make a winning hurdles debut over C&D last month, this looks like a relatively straightforward task for HIJACK to follow-up and take his record over hurdles to 2-2. On a line through Garry Clermont (who he beat last time out), he should hold Moon Of Baroda (who was runner-up to that horse on hurdles debut). However, Hughie Morrison's looks to hold solid claims of making the frame once again and should not be completely ruled out for win purposes either. South Seas has a bit to prove after running below-par last time, but he is worth another chance given the promise he showed on hurdles debut.
  1. Hijack
  2. Moon of Baroda
  3. South Seas
