Verdict

COQUELICOT accomplished what many horses don't by winning three bumpers last season, so has to be marked down as a potentially exciting recruit to hurdling. Brummie Boys and Rookie Trainer are considered the main threats in that order.

  1. COQUELICOT (FR)
  2. BRUMMIE BOYS (IRE)
  3. ROOKIE TRAINER (IRE)
