Verdict

MARDOOF was a fair performer on the level and showed enough when third at Uttoxeter last month to earn the vote here in an open maiden hurdle. Mullinaree is feared most if, as expected, building on his debut Newcastle third for Milton Harris, with Big Jim Beam, Talimar Pearl and Celtic Art all open to improvement and shortlisted.

  1. MARDOOF (IRE)
  2. MULLINAREE (IRE)
  3. BIG JIM BEAM (IRE)
