Verdict

BERKSHIRE ROYAL was useful on the Flat but faced a very stiff task on his hurdles debut for new connections when well held in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham 14 months ago. He hasn't been seen since but is of obvious interest at this much lower level. The Getaway Star and Homme d'un Soir look the only realistic threats.

  1. BERKSHIRE ROYAL
  2. THE GETAWAY STAR (IRE)
  3. HOMME D'UN SOIR (FR)
