Verdict
A very ordinary maiden hurdle and another chance is given to WACKESTONE up in trip. He hasn't been progressing but clearly has the ability to win a race like this judged on his 2 placed efforts in juvenile events last season and goes in stronger headgear now. Santa Domingo is the clear danger on his hurdles debut.

VerdictHas been disappointing this year, including back on the level at Galway last month. 2 good placed efforts in 2m juvenile maiden hurdles last season make him the one to beat if back to anything like that sort of form now fitted with stronger headgear up in trip. - 1.

VerdictRegressive maiden on the Flat. Cheekpieces go on for jumps debut and hard to fancy even though she's related to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Lyric Street.
