Verdict
HITITI blossomed last term over hurdles for Robert Walford and could turn out to be just the sort of standard bearer the fledgling handler needs as he makes his way in the game. Marta Des Mottes could be called the winner from some way out over fences at Southwell five days ago and Tom Symonds’ mare will be tough to beat if arriving in similar heart. Saint Segal ran in Grade 1 company over hurdles around here and is of interest now switching to fences. Hatos has proved popular in the market in the past while Fulgurix aims to bounce back from a disappointing run at Huntingdon last month.
