Verdict

Palais Tiff gets the confident vote here with Fuel Cell and King's Jester rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair sort on the flat is sure to have been well schooled for this his hurdling debut and under conditions that suit he need only put in a clear round to score. Fuel Cell rates the main danger on his latest third behind Cottingham but he has looked one paced in the past and he looks vulnerable to something with a finishing kick. King's Jester showed promise when last seen but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 352 day break. Of the remainder Telegonus could improve for the fitting of first time chhepecies but Palais Tiff is hard to oppose and is taken to make a winning debut.
