Verdict

LE TUEUR was a fair winner over hurdles and is weighted to open his account in this sphere here being able to race off the same mark as when an excellent second at Plumpton. Hidden Cargo is still a maiden but feared most on the back of his very good C&D second, with the lightly-raced Space Safari no forlorn hope either.
