Verdict
GREEN ETOILE won over 1m4f at Salisbury last month and looks the type to run up a sequence over hurdles over the next few months. Another Reason was in good form at Wolverhampton in the spring and is another who should have few problems with the trip. Whiskey And Water was placed in all three starts on Turf on the Flat so is another to consider as his trainer has won this twice in recent years. The market should be informative as to what’s expected of the others.
