Bumper winner JUGE ET PARTI (NAP) returned to action with a second over track and trip on his hurdles bow. He finished a long way in front of third-placed Dark Invader with Buck Bravo pulled-up and can open his account in this. Noble Robin was well beaten here on last year’s hurdles debut and makes his reappearance while Baihas showed ability on the Flat way back in 2013 and has his first start since for new connections. Stuccodor returns to maiden company today having shown little in handicaps and has yet to win in 12 starts over timber.
