Verdict

DOM OF MARY shaped well under a patient ride when fourth on his hurdling debut at Newbury so this point/bumper scorer is fancied to take a step forward now and open his account in this sphere. Mahon Point can also boast a point win and is feared most after his promising bumper third for Fergal O'Brien. Fellow hurdling newcomer Helios de Grugy and the returning Crossing Lines need considering too.

  1. DOM OF MARY (FR)
  2. MAHON POINT
  3. HELIOS DE GRUGY (FR)
