Verdict

TREAD CAREFULLY went 0-6 over hurdles last season but the form he showed in defeat on several occasions means he sets the standard. The form of On The Bayou's Exeter second means he remains of interest, whilst the pick of several intriguing hurdling debutants is perhaps Fergal O'Brien's Cool Customer.

  1. TREAD CAREFULLY (IRE)
  2. ON THE BAYOU (IRE)
  3. COOL CUSTOMER (IRE)
