Verdict
It would be no surprise to see the two recruits from the Flat, Dora's Field and Our Boy , thereabouts in what appears a modest maiden. Ataguiseamix was soon beaten last time at Exeter but the step up in distance is a massive plus for the stoutly-bred Southfield Torr. REPRESENTED won the bumper on this card 12 months ago and is another who will appreciate a longer trip on his hurdling debut so he gets a tentative vote.
