Verdict

Copernicus and Imperial Eloquence are making their hurdling debuts having finished tailed off in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham when last seen on the track. Both should win races but Celestial Path has disappointed over hurdles so far. BEDROCK ran a blinder behind Defi Du Seuil in a Grade 1 at Aintree on only his second start over hurdles and should win plenty of races as long as the ground is good or quicker - he’s hard to oppose in this.
