Verdict
Citrus has yet to threaten in three starts over hurdles and Give Him Time can only improve on his modest efforts so far. It remains to be seen how BOUDRY fares now hurdling but he won a bumper at Newcastle early this year and his dam is a half-sister to none other than Sprinter Sacre. Warren Greatrex’ charge gets the nod while hurdles newcomers Black Caesar and Sunday Royal share similar ratings on the Flat and racecourse debutant Bubsy Burbidge is related to winners over jumps.
