Verdict

Freckle Face's form tailed off at the end of last season and he turned in an even worse effort on his recent return, while Koralsdarling never threatened on his hurdling debut in September. They're both hard to fancy, but Blue Blooded has been placed in two of his three starts in bumpers and should go close if taking to hurdling. ADRENALIN FLIGHT won a maiden on his first start over timber and wasn't disgraced at Newton Abbot on his latest start back in May. He's taken to make a winning return in this company.
