Verdict

WESTERNINTHEPARK sets a good standard on the form of his hurdling debut third at Exeter for Milton Harris so is taken to make a winning start for his new handler. Nicky Henderson's Madam Ryder should have learned a lot from her debut Lingfield tenth and can emerge as the main danger, with Kilbarry Hill and Ballyvaughan Bay appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. WESTERNINTHEPARK (IRE)
  2. MADAM RYDER
  3. KILBARRY HILL
