Verdict

ALWAYS ABLE matched her hurdles form straight off when third on chase bow at Warwick and may still have more to offer in this sphere starting out for a new yard. This does look competitive though, with last-time-out winners Cushuish and Agent Valdez heading the dangers.

  1. ALWAYS ABLE (IRE)
  2. CUSHUISH
  3. AGENT VALDEZ
