Verdict

This looks likely to be a match between Eden Du Houx, a Listed bumper winner making his hurdles debut, and I K BRUNEL, who already looks useful in this sphere, and the latter's experience earns him the vote today. In Rem, and to a lesser extent Robins Field also make some appeal for minor honours.
  1. I K Brunel
  2. Eden Du Houx
  3. In Rem
