Verdict

Ouragan Lagrange can win on his hurdles debut at the expense of Boomshakalaka and Niver Bai. The selection has run well on all starts in bumbers and takes the eye on his first hurdles run. If jumping well there is no reason why he cant win so is one to note. Boomshakalaka was highly tried a t Newbury last time out and is now dropped back in grade. He faired well when second at chepstow behind Carlitos on his penultimate outing and if reproducing that effort he has a definate chance. Niver Bai is another to take note of. Although well tried after five runs he ran his personal best at Stratford last time out when finishing second and if improving once more he holds a chance. But for the winner we return to Ouragan Lagrange.
