Verdict

Difficult to make a strong case for any of these. We almost certainly didn't see the best of PYFFO on stable debut, for a yard that usually does so well with new recruits. Back up in trip today, he can take this race. Super Survivor encountered very testing ground on his comeback run 22 days ago, and assuming that hasn't left a mark, he looks the standout danger with cheekpieces back on. Bugise Seagull has some smart form as a novice hurdler and is respected back over the smaller obstacles.
