Verdict

ADAGIO improved on his winning hurdles debut form when runner-up in a well-run Grade 2 juvenile at the track a month ago and that sets a pretty good standard here. Elham Valley and Son of Red also made the perfect start in this sphere and command respect, for all conceding 3 lb to the selection makes life tough.

  1. ADAGIO (GER)
  2. ELHAM VALLEY (FR)
  3. SON OF RED (IRE)
