Verdict
IMPULSIVE ONE won in a hack canter on his hurdling debut at Plumpton with Aggagio and Prey For Glory both beaten a long way. The others with experience look held on collateral form and the Henderson runner will be a short price to complete a double. Tarseem is Flat-bred but has yet to appear on a racecourse and may need the experience.
