Verdict

Unbeaten in bumpers, GREY DAWNING shaped very well on his hurdling bow at Aintree last month, collared in the final furlong having made a bad mistake 3 out. He can build on that effort to go one better, though Lallygag is respected having won both of his starts over hurdles hard held. How Will I Know is the pick of the remainder.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. LALLYGAG (GER)
  3. HOW WILL I KNOW (IRE)
