Verdict

Whispered Secret, I D Technology, and Ehab look the three to concentrate on in this novices hurdle and the confident vote goes to Whisperd Secret. The selection was a fair sort on the flat in Germany and is improving with each run over hurdles and although he was well beaten behind Sir Laughalot last time this looks much easier and he is taken to score. I D Technology rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Zonergem on his last run and is sure to strip fitter here. Ehab is another that is worthy of respect he was a fair third behind Capriolo last time and the first time blinkers worn here may bring about some improvement. Of the remainder Spectacular Hope is one of the least exposed in the field and is open to plenty of improvement but for the winner we return to Whispered Secret.
