Verdict

A good heat, several having shown promise already, though preference is for BELLBIRD after last month's encouraging Stratford third. Cusano is a really interesting recruit to hurdling for the Dan Skelton yard, whilst Doeshefitthebill caught the eye under considerate handling here last time and is also considered.

  1. BELLBIRD
  2. CUSANO
  3. DOESHEFITTHEBILL (IRE)
