Verdict

WESTWOOD RYDER split next-time-out winners when runner-up in his bumper during the spring and, sure to be well schooled for this hurdles debut, he can go one better. Gredin has to defy a penalty but seems certain to give it a good go, while Top of The Bill possesses the raw ability to win a novice.

  1. WESTWOOD RYDER (IRE)
