Verdict

TFOU was all the rage in the betting ahead of his Ayr bumper debut. He couldn't justify that market confidence but still showed promise in second and is evidently well regarded so he gets the nod to make a winning start over hurdles. Hidden Heroics has had wind surgery since his Ascot third and rates an obvious danger. Irish winner Hasty Brook is also respected on first run for Rebecca Menzies.
