Verdict

French import Mick Pastor can probably be forgiven his first run for Paul Nicholls in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham and did finish ahead of Prefontaine. Torolight is also eased in grade but doesn’t look one of Nicky Henderson’s best juveniles. OPERATIC EXPORT was quietly fancied for a Fillies’ Listed race at Aintree on her hurdling debut and showed sings of promise in finishing fifth. A winner on the Flat in Ireland and placed over 1m4f, she has plenty in her favour today with progress almost certain. Leading Knight is a half-brother to a winning hurdler but may need today’s experience.
