Verdict

BALCO COASTAL easily landed the odds on his hurdling debut at Huntingdon and should have few problems defying a penalty here with a similar effort even though Iontach Cheval followed up a bumper win in April with a victory over hurdles at Uttoxeter. Hard Frost may do better now going hurdling and Frere D'armes switched to the Skelton yard after finishing second in a point in September. Stumps Or Slips was beaten a distance when third at Doncaster.
