Verdict

The market should reveal plenty but Willie Mullins' French recruit KIMI DE MAI showed some fairly useful form when bagging three bumpers in the spring and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's Qualimita rates much the pick of those with hurdling experience and seems sure to be on the premises, while other newcomers to note are Daisy Fingall, Sixandahalf and Stretchemout in this intriguing maiden.

  1. KIMI DE MAI (FR)
