Verdict
Hostile Fire was some way clear of these on hurdling figures but he’s clearly had issues and the presence of a hood and tongue-tie are a little off-putting. Any chinks in his armour can therefore be exploited by PRINCE KHURRAM. Donald McCain’s charge raced a little exuberantly on his chasing debut at Carlisle but he showed enough to suggest that he can pick up a race of this nature. Bright Prospect won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan for previous connections but Make It Happen hasn’t been seen since scoring in a novice hurdle at Kelso last year.
