Verdict

This may develop into a fight between previous hurdle winners BOOK OF TALES and Balboa, with a narrow vote going to the former. It's possible the refitting of a headgear combination she wore to good effect on the Flat in France could see Saisissante leave her hurdle debut effort well behind so she's next on the list.
