Surface: T
A decent-looking maiden hurdle with four main contenders. Slender preference goes the way of the Nicky Richard-trained JAPETUS (4) who picked up in fine style to take his record to two from three in jumpers flats gaining a smooth success at Hexham during April. A bright future in the novices hurdling division is anticipated. Consider. Form of a KINGS CHAMPION (5) debut third in a Ffos Las jumpers flat received a boost when the winner created a nice impression hurdling recently. This new Olly Murphy recruit could do well with hurdles and makes plenty of appeal. LOCK STOCK (6) is consistent. Shaped nicely providing initial hurdle outing when second at Worcester last month. IS THIS FOR REAL (3) also commands respect.
