Unbeaten in five starts to date and registered a second Graded success when winning a Grade 2 contest over C&D on yielding ground in December. Likely to prove hard to beat today.

Dual winner on the Flat and broke his maiden at the first time of asking over hurdles on debut for this yard on soft ground over C&D in December. Hood worn on that occasion is dispensed with today.

13 race maiden under all codes and held by a few of these on running in a Grade 2 contest here in December. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Espoir D'allen (4/5), Mr Adjudicator (3/1), Farclas (3/1), Mitchouka (12/1), Grey Waters (33/1), Tenth Amendment (66/1)

Verdict

The unbeaten ESPOIR D'ALLEN can register his sixth career victory by taking this Grade 1 juvenile contest. Trainer Gavin Cromwell has done well with his juvenile hurdlers in recent seasons and his charge can record a second C&D success with Farclas again capable of finishing runner-up. Mr Adjudicator impressed when making a winning debut over hurdles here and he can finish third today.
  1. Espoir D'allen
  2. Farclas
  3. Mr Adjudicator
