Verdict

This has an open-looking feel but HUBRISKO arrives having matched his previous best when third in a Tipperary Grade 3 early last month and, with the prospect of more to come stepping back up in trip, he looks to hold sound claims. Collectors Item looks sure to be suited by this sort of test judged on his hurdles debut success at Chepstow and is feared, along with Music Drive and Hermes Allen.
