In depth
Verdict
This looks a remarkably poor race and TEAMtalk are unable to oppose A Vendre on his hurdling debut. His flat form was only moderate, but still better than most of these, and Martin Pipe seems to have found him a suitably soft race to get off the mark. Of those with experience over timber, Ressource and Misbehaviour both drop in class and could reach the frame, with preference going to the former. Secret Fluttter showed more ability on the flat than most of these, and might go well at big odds on his hurdling debut.
