Verdict

Though 0-10 under Rules, LEN BRENNAN is not going to get many better opportunities to shed his maiden tag. He was only headed at the last on his last appearance over hurdles and has placed again since over fences. Tango Boy is the danger being much less exposed. The bumper winner got outpaced on his hurdling debut at Carlisle so this more searching test of stamina will aid his cause. New Frontier was let down by his jumping on debut and is probably best watched here.
