Verdict

Six previous hurdle winners clash in an interesting novice to open the card. LARIO shaped well behind a couple of useful sorts starting out for Harry Derham at Newbury recently and gets the nod ahead of Secret Squirrel and Jonjo O'Neill's Warwick winner King of Tara.

  1. LARIO (GER)
  2. SECRET SQUIRREL
  3. KING OF TARA
