Verdict

MR CHUA looked a useful recruit to hurdles last year and after a narrow defeat on the Flat at Lingfield last time, looks like making up into a useful dual-purpose sort for Michael Scudamore. The tonue-tie going back on and the booking of Oisin Murphy both catch the eye, and he's taken to come out on top. Peckinpah showed a bit more on his latest start and should appreciate a step up in trip, so may be the danger, High Wells bumped into the rejuvenated Solo Saxophone at Haydock and as long as he doesn't "bounce" on this second run back after an absence, can make his presence felt.
  1. Mr Chua
  2. Peckinpah
  3. High Wells
