Verdict

An interesting juvenile, with a few of these well above average on the Flat. Of those MAASAI MARA and Love True have hurdle experience and might be the pair to focus on, with the former preferred on the back of his Hereford second. Golden Maverick and Mr Le Philosophe would rate dangers if the betting suggests they are fancied.

  1. MAASAI MARA
  2. LOVE TRUE (FR)
  3. GOLDEN MAVERICK (FR)
