Verdict

STAG HORN, a smart stayer on the Flat, has to be considered the one to beat on this switch to hurdling, though both Auba Me Yang and Braganza Bay are interesting rivals in opposition. The former has transferred to Philip Hobbs after showing promise in a brace of bumpers for Jamie Snowden last season, while the latter very much caught the eye on his recent debut in this sphere at Market Rasen.

  1. STAG HORN
  2. AUBA ME YANG (IRE)
  3. BRAGANZA BAY
