Verdict

There should be plenty more to come from AURIFEROUS as a hurdler given his Flat form, and following a promising start at Huntingdon, he's fancied to build on that and score. A breathing operation may well help General Medrano's finishing effort and he's second choice, with Tapley likely to give it another good shot.

  1. AURIFEROUS (IRE)
  2. GENERAL MEDRANO (IRE)
  3. TAPLEY
