Verdict
Flammarion scored on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot in September, since when he's finished down the field on the Flat at Newbury just over a fortnight ago. Key To The Moon also made a winning start to his hurdling career with an all-the-way Ludlow success, showing a good attitude and sticking on well. He is preferred of the two penalised contenders but a chance is taken that LEBOWSKI can push them hard on his hurdling bow and a first run for the Scudamore team after showing promise in bumper company in both Britain and Ireland. Mister Watson has a sound claim on the best of his form, although his profile does read quite erratically.
