Verdict
L’ASTROBOY made a winning debut when landing a bumper here in February. He beat Tahmuras, who subsequently landed a hat-trick, and looks sure to go close if taking to hurdling. Inedit Star won twice on the Flat and has decent form in bumpers in France. He debuts for a new yard having cost a hefty 160,000 euros while bumper winner Astronomic View also has his first start over timber and is preferred to Zambezi Magic.
