There are some interesting contenders in this maiden hurdle with several lightly raced and unraced contenders in the field but the best form is held by Jonjo O'Neill's PINEROCK and the son of Oscar is taken to open his account now returned to hurdles having disappointed over fences on his most recent start in May. Jeremy Scott's Leitra House ran better than expected when a good second at Worcester earlier this month but probably needs to improve again to trouble the selection. Don McCain's Tenth Avenue lacks any racing experience and may be best watched, while Butlers Glen has run some reasonable races in bumpers in Ireland and now makes his debut for Evan Williams so has to be considered.
