Verdict

Having showed some useful form in bumpers, LITTLEFOOT has showed ability in a couple of spins over hurdles, that despite not being seen to best effect under a patient ride at Wexford in July. The type to do better again in this sphere, he earns the narrow vote to come out on top, with Minella Diamond rating the chief threat. Wisteria Bloom, who showed ability himself in bumpers last year is another to note on hurdles bow.

  1. LITTLEFOOT (IRE)
