Verdict
TARDREE has only had two runs over hurdles but showed promise in both. He won twice over fences last summer and can shrug off an absence to get the better of last month’s Wincanton winner Toronto, who is conceding 7lb less Angus Cheleda’s claim. The others are likely to be contesting the minor placings.
