Verdict
If CUEROS can translate his Flat ability to hurdles this could represent a good chance for him to make a winning start for Harry Derham. Crazy About Her was runner-up in a similar contest at Chepstow when last seen in the spring, while Marhaba The Champ failed to shine on his recent Hereford hurdle debut but it's too soon to write him off in this sphere given the level he reached on the Flat.

VerdictFairly useful Flat performer. Could only manage remote last of 4 on recent Hereford hurdle debut but this race lacks depth and no surprise were he to leave the Hereford effort behind.

VerdictFairly useful handicapper at best on Flat but disappointing in that sphere this season and only minor promise in novice hurdles at Perth and Carlisle this autumn, pulling too hard. Needs to settle better if he's to progress in this sphere.
