Giantsgrave (5/4), Talakan (7/4), Galashiels (4/1), Lancelot Allen (9/2), Let's Love (7/1), Fouroneohfever (9/1), Mulinas (11/1), Lully Du Houx (16/1), Seeking Charles (80/1), My Boy Aaron (125/1), Global Fortune (150/1), Back On Track (250/1)

Verdict

TALAKAN has shown plenty of promise in a pair of juvenile hurdles and has to be considered the one to beat in receipt of plenty of weight from her rivals. Galashiels has unlikely reached his limit as a hurdler based on his useful Flat form, with bumper-winner Lancelot Allen another interesting contender.
