      Verdict

      Olly's Folly has placed in four of seven hurdle starts but already looks exposed. Tardree reverted to hurdles with a second here last month but that form looks questionable and AWESOMEDUDE is preferred. The latter only had to be pushed out to score at Huntingdon and this looks no tougher. Rafiki has won twice on the all-weather but has yet to place on Turf.
