Verdict
A truly dreadful maiden hurdle to end proceedings and it should provide no more than an exercise canter for TREVISANI. Paul Nicholls’ son of Dubawi, a three-times winner on the level, showed his lack of experience when fading into eighth at Kempton on his hurdles bow. But that form is still head and shoulders above anything achieved by his rivals, who should be left fighting out the minor places at a considerable distance.
