There should be plenty more to come from AURIFEROUS as a hurdler given his Flat form, and following a promising start at Huntingdon, he's fancied to build on that and score. A breathing operation may well help General Medrano's finishing effort and he's second choice, with Tapley likely to give it another good shot.
