In depth

Verdict

This shouldn't take much winning and Willie Mullins has found a perfect opportunity for THOMAS HOBSON to make a successful hurdling debut. He went for a massive £240,000 at the Sales in 2013 after winning his fourth race in five starts for John Gosden and is now rated 101 on the Flat. Solatenif won a bumper at Killarney in July then finished runner-up over hurdles back there a month later. He ran poorly on his reappearance in another bumper and will need to get back to his best. Wes Hardin made a decent debut over timber at Sligo where he was going well at this trip before finding the extra half-mile beyond him so he could provide the main threat.
