Verdict
Iron D'Ex has placed in three of four hurdle starts to date but others have more scope. Jagwar was runner-up behind the useful Secret D’Etat at Auteuil around this time last year but hasn’t been seen since and is having a first run for new connections. INTHEWATERSIDE is sure to be popular having had a perfect record in bumpers. The French-bred is a half-brother to a winning chaser so jumping will be his game. It’s likely that the market will tell us all we need to know about the others.
