Verdict

MARINE NATIONALE has looked a good prospect in winning both outings in bumpers and he's fancied to maintain his unbeaten record now switched to hurdling. Santonito is another notable recruit to the hurdling ranks and Harel du Marais has a progressive profile in this sphere, so can't be ruled out.
