Verdict

This is a tricky one with some very interesting types from the Flat setting out on hurdling careers. Chez Hans will obviously be popular for the champion trainer after winning in Compiegne when last seen in the spring and has definite claims. Admirals Bay was a winner on the level this year for Andrew Balding so deserves consideration on this debut run for Henry Oliver, whilst similar comments of Flat success can be attributed to Manucci, very unexposed on the level, and Isle of Wolves, a reliable middle-distance handicapper. However, GOSHEN was in flying form when romping home at Nottingham when seen recently over 1m6f on the Flat and could be the one if taking to timber in a fascinating juvenile contest.
