Verdict

TUXEDO JUNCTION stepped up a little on his hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a big-field novice at Wincanton 18 days ago and, with further progress in the offing, he looks the way to go. 10-y-o Kauto The King is better known as a fair handicap chaser but may well emerge as the chief threat returned to smaller obstacles.
