Race Verdict

While Hurraboru is fitted with the first-time cheekpieces for this maiden hurdle and is taken to go close, TEKTHELOT boasts the best form in the race and should prove too good if up to his rating of 110. Keith Reveley's charge has been knocking the door in handicaps recently, has proved his versatility on testing ground and will appreciate the drop in class. De Faoithesdream is another of interest.

Selection: Tekthelot        Danger: Hurraboru        Alternative: De Faoithesdream
