The selection is Tech Eagle in this maiden hurdle,with the dangers being Lysander and Ladino.Tech Eagle(Roger Curtis/Tom Doyle)last ran at Newbury on the 4th march finishing 3rd to Wellbeing.This looks outstanding in the light of the winner's victory at Aintree on Saturday. Lysander finished 3rd of 13 to Rjabaa at Stratford and would have a chance here as has Ladino from the Hobbs yard,a well beaten favourite at Taunton on the 16th February.But the outstanding choice on form is Tech Eagle
