Verdict

CAPTAIN TEAGUE made a highly promising start to his hurdling career with victory in the Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow on his return last month and, with significant improvement on the cards, he ought to prove hard to beat having already run to a useful level. Kinbara represents a stable that does well with its runners at this track and has impressed in winning both his starts in this sphere, so warrants plenty of respect, as does Sequestered, whose Galway win is backed up by the timefigure.
