Verdict

A cracking Adonis Hurdle with lots of potential on show but SCRIPTWRITER sets a high standard and can make it 3-4 in this sphere on the back of his excellent second in Cheltenham's Finesse Hurdle. Rare Middleton looked a most exciting prospect when going in on his debut at Taunton and isn't passed over easily, while Irish-raider Nusret and Nicky Henderson's newcomer Pawapuri need factoring in too.
