Verdict

The vote goes to RIDEAU CANAL, who has contested some pretty decent maiden/novice hurdles and improvement should be forthcoming now that he makes the switch to handicap company off what may prove to be a handy opening mark. Money Spinner is an obvious threat on the back of his improved effort at Bangor, form which has been franked since, and Big Difference is also considered back in this sphere.
