In depth
Verdict
Spectroscope landed a couple of decent gambles at Goodwood earlier in the year and should be spot on for his hurdles debut with A P McCoy booked for trainer Jonjo O'Neill. The ground should suit and his racing style suggests he will make up into a decent hurdler. Star Protector is another who has decent flat form and his trainer will have him spot on for this debut. Nas Na Riogh has some useful flat form in France and his trainer is much respected at this track and with juveniles. Dizzy Tart has the best racecourse form - winning well at Huntingdon. That form does not really add up to much and he will be vulnerable to some of the newcomers. Environment Audit probably boasts the best flat form of those who will line up and if he can translate that to hurdling he could go well at a decent price.
