Verdict

WORDSWORTH would be hard to oppose on the form of his hurdling debut second even without acknowledging the quality he showed on the Flat, so is a strong fancy to get the better of hurdles debutant Easter Junction and Black Occ, who made an encouraging start at Worcester last month.

  1. WORDSWORTH (IRE)
  2. EASTER JUNCTION (IRE)
  3. BLACK OCC (IRE)
