Verdict

WONDERFUL EAGLE showed a fairly useful level of ability on the Flat in Germany and should take a fair bit of beating if transferring that sort of form over to hurdles at the first attempt. The Geordie Ginge was collared only in the dying strides by one who's gone in again since at Stratford, so he's very much respected, while Little Flour and Climbing need factoring in, too.

  1. WONDERFUL EAGLE (GER)
  2. THE GEORDIE GINGE (IRE)
  3. LITTEL FLOUR (IRE)
