Verdict

WESTERN CROSS caught the eye closing all the way to the line in a well-contested novice on his Hereford hurdling debut last month, so he's an appealing candidate to make it second time lucky in this sphere. Way of Stars seems sure to have learnt from his opening effort over hurdles and is clear second choice, with Babyken fancied to fill the places.

  1. WESTERN CROSS (IRE)
  2. WAY OF STARS (IRE)
  3. BABYKEN (FR)
