Verdict

After a couple of false starts, Donald McCain finally takes the plunge over fences here with the classy OVERTURN. Last season's Champion Hurdle runner-up will surely take all the beating if taking to the larger obstacles even though Polisky and Thanks For Coming have the edge in experience. The latter pair would probably prefer a stiffer test of stamina, however, and wouldn't have lived with the selection over timber. Fabulous Fred's best form over hurdles was also over longer distances and he's pitched in at the deep end on his chasing bow.
