Cushendun (9/4), Maiori (11/4), Queens Secret (5/1), Wise Move (6/1), Bold Reflection (7/1), C'mon So (9/1), Hourman (11/1), Eagle's Cairn (33/1), Comedaygoday (150/1), Colonel Jack (250/1), Countryman Joe (300/1), Culzean (400/1), Strathcatcha (400/1)

This test is slightly on the sharp side for CUSHENDUN but this isn't a strong maiden hurdle and the feeling is that we haven't seen the best of him. Queens Secret won her point and while she's been off a year, she has to command respect, as does Bold Reflection after an even longer lay-off with the market likely to help assess that pair.
