In depth

Verdict

Wurlitzer won on Tapeta last year and needed the experience on his hurdling debut at Worcester but is unlikely to trouble CARRAREA. Though possibly flattered by a mark of 122, the latter won decisively enough here last month on only his second outing for Mark Walford. Saint Jaguen is a half-brother to a winning hurdler in France and goes jumping after just a couple of runs in bumpers.
