In depth
Verdict
Dual hurdles winner ATHOLL STREET struggled in Grade 2 company last time. But he can include the high-class chaser Kicking King in his pedigree and Paul Nicholls’ charge is taken to make a winning debut over the larger obstacles. Paddys Motorbike is another progressive hurdler that came up short in a Graded contest last time and also debuts over fences but Cenotice won a chase at Perth earlier and is preferred to Storm Rising as he drops back down in trip.
