In depth
Verdict
Already placed twice over hurdles, COSMIC WONDER is better than he showed at Kilbeggan earlier this month and finished a long way ahead of subsequent Market Rasen third Emrani over a similar trip at Uttoxeter last month. Bumper winner Anitopia was beaten 25 lengths by Hawkhill over 2m1f here on his hurdling debut but should improve the experience and looks the pick of the remainder.
