Verdict
FAST FORWARD has won two of his last three starts on the Flat and was second in the other. Alan King’s juvenile hurdlers here always warrant a second look and the son of Recorder is no exception. Bukela was still travelling when falling two out at Hexham and Mucuna beat a small field at Aintree on her hurdling debut but is now penalised. Ha Long Bay has won twice on the level this year but stamina might be an issue.
