Verdict

J P McManus could hold the key to this very interesting opener. TEKAO was unable to justify market confidence on his Navan hurdle debut a month ago but still shaped very well in third and, with considerable improvement possible, is narrowly preferred to ownermate Goodie Two Shoes, who quickly reached a useful level on the Flat. Zanndabad and Almuhit are others who should have bright futures over hurdles if they can translate anything like their Flat ability to this new discipline.

  1. TEKAO (FR)
  2. GOODIE TWO SHOES (IRE)
  3. ZANNDABAD (IRE)
