Verdict

Strait Of Magellan has only found one too good in two of his four hurdle starts so far but Freewheel, another Flat winner, is making his debut over timber. Culmination is probably improving with experience but so is DEAUVILLE CRYSTAL (NAP), who made relentless late headway to finish second in a fillies’ race at Ludlow last month and wouldn’t need much more to get off the mark here.
