Barenboim was third on his debut over hurdles at Kempton and will know more while Pure Bubbles wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Plumpton. Jubilee Gold placed at Cork on his hurdling debut for previous connections but this can go to the filly SWEET MOON, who made the odds-on Largy G work hard for victory at Newton Abbot and should have the pace to cope with a drop in trip.
