An interesting opener, though Exeter winner Trevisani was quickly back-pedaling at Fakenham when the pace quickened. Old Harry Rocks made it third-time lucky over hurdles at Worcester but there is a doubt about him on this much quicker ground. TURN TURK started odds-on for her hurdles debut at Uttoxeter and her supporters had few anxious moments. She is open to plenty of improvement and can follow up here. Awaywiththeblues goes hurdling after just one bumper run and will appreciate this longer distance.
