Verdict

Five runners for this maiden hurdle, but it looks to rest between RIVER WALK and Mexican Boy with Donald McCain's hurdling newcomer taken to follow up his debut bumper win at Carlisle. Olly Murphy's fair performer should run him close though, with points runner-up Hold Onto The Line appealing as the pick of the remainder now he goes over hurdles.

  1. RIVER WALK (IRE)
  2. MEXICAN BOY (IRE)
