Verdict

BLUEGRASS has been shaping up well in handicaps lately and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account as a hurdler. Rumoursareflying probably should have won at Southwell last time and is an obvious threat, with fairly useful Flat recruit Juan Bermudez also worthy of consideration.
