Verdict

A big field but plenty of deadwood in this novice, BYZANTIUM selected to build on his hurdling debut second at Taunton back in the spring having had a breathing operation prior to his return. Windsurfer opened his account 5 months on from his hurdling debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers carrying a penalty, with Diskatek and The Winslow Boy taken to fight out minor honours.
