Verdict

The betting will prove useful in assessing the chances of a few but WESTMINSTER MOON was smart on the level in Germany and, with a recent spin on the Flat likely to have brought him on, he could be worth chancing now his attentions switch to hurdling for the first time. Romany Brown and Dream Diamond are a couple of the more likely threats, with the returning Western Princess another to note on her respective hurdles bow.

  1. WESTMINSTER MOON (IRE)
  2. ROMANY BROWN (IRE)
  3. DREAM DIAMOND (IRE)
