I Hear A Symphony, an expensive recruit from the Mags Mullins yard in Ireland should possess too much class for these. I Hear A Symphony did not appear the most straight forward at Hereford last time but it was encouraging to see him none the worse for a heavy fall at Chepstow on his British debut. He will no doubt be more effective over further in the future but this looks at his mercy. Dangers to the selection incluse Master Wells who was not disgraced in an above average Taunton contest won by Pierrot Lunaire while Quinte du Chatelet was a winner in the french provinces on soft ground, form that is very difficult to weight up. The market should be the best indication to his chances. I Hear A Symphony is taken to justify his lofty price tag and take this maiden hurdle.
