Winston Junior (1/1), Novelista (9/2), Down To Business (11/2), Macshadow Des Crai (11/2), Talakan (14/1), Genealogy (16/1), Flash Man (25/1), Brave Guest (33/1), Enziya (125/1), Elman (125/1)

Verdict

In a race usually worth noting, WINSTON JUNIOR can cement a highly encouraging start to his hurdles career, having caught the eye when second in the Triumph Trial at Cheltenham last month. Down To Business shaped with plenty of promise on his hurdle debut and looks sure to improve for the Skelton yard, while ex-French recruit Macshadow des Crai is expected to take a step forward from his UK debut run behind Winston Junior.

  1. WINSTON JUNIOR (IRE)
