Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Haafapiece didn't really build on a debut victory in a bumper at Kempton and has a bit to prove on his hurdling debut. MR ONE MORE (NAP) won a bumper at Bangor just over a year ago that could not have worked out any better with four of the five who chased him home winning several times since. Harry Fry's gelding could be a smart recruit to hurdling, though Summerville Boy cost current connections £130,000 after winning at Killarney in May and will also be expected to pay his way.
