In depth
Verdict
Some potentially useful performers on show including exciting hurdling recruit East Tycoon. Jonjo O'Neill's ex-Irish performer has some useful form on the level including a 9f Fairyhouse maiden victory as well as finishing a close runner-up in a competitive handicap over a mile-and-a-quarter on his final start at The Curragh. The son of Bigstone will have his share of supporters but has yet to race on ground as testing as today's and lacks experience so is not one to take a short price about. Tunstall made a winning start to his hurdling career at Wetherby in October and hasn't been disgraced in better company since so should go well despite a 6lb penalty while debutantes Autumn Fantasy, Overstrand and Revelino all boast useful winning form on the Flat and are respected. However, the vote goes to Mirant who looked certain to make a winning debut over hurdles last month at Wincanton before falling at the final flight. Sure to have been well schooled since, the son of Danzig Connection can atone for heavy losses incurred under Rodi Greene.
