Verdict

LIAM MERA KAI shaped well when third on his Huntingdon hurdle debut at the beginning of the month and is the percentage call before any market clues are known about Ben Pauling point recruit Four Springs and newcomer Lully du Houx, whose stable has some promising novice hurdlers to compare him to.

  1. LIAM MERA KAI (FR)
  2. FOUR SPRINGS (IRE)
  3. LULLY DU HOUX (FR)
