BRENTFORD HOPE is a talented Flat performer who showed aptitude for hurdling when second in a novice at Ludlow recently, so he's well worth a chance to open his account at the second attempt in this sphere despite the presence of Rubaud, an easy winner over C&D last month. That pair will probably have it between them but Sassified is open to improvement.
