Verdict

Useful bumper performer KILWAUGHTER stepped up on a low-key hurdling debut when fourth of 16 in a warm Exeter novice just over 6 weeks ago and appeals as the type to improve again now stepping up in trip, so he earns the vote. Harbour Island and Doctor On Call rate the main threats.

  1. KILWAUGHTER (IRE)
  2. HARBOUR ISLAND (FR)
  3. DOCTOR ON CALL (FR)
