It's A Roofer, Taras Knight and King's Crest are three against the field in a trappy maiden hurdle and the vote is given to It's A Roofer. The selection was a fair second behind Ken's Dream last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Taras Knight rates the main danger on his latest third behind Present Oriented but he looks a short runner and is opposed for that reason. King's Crest has been in fair form on the flat of late and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Pearsons Glen looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but ion a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to It's A Roofer.
