Verdict

CAPTAIN MORGS was a warm order prior to his highly encouraging second in a bumper at Warwick a month ago and he has all the credentials to make a quality hurdler, so he's fancied to make a winning start in what is, admittedly, a competitive novice. Addis Ababa made a pleasing switch from the Flat to hurdling 8 months ago, so he could provide the sternest opposition.

  1. CAPTAIN MORGS (IRE)
  2. ADDIS ABABA (IRE)
  3. FEARLESS (IRE)
