Verdict
Colebrooke was a frustrating maiden on the Flat but could have a future over hurdles judged on his second to Alfraamsey at Plumpton. Irish raider Toretto comes here off the back of a couple of fair efforts at Galway and Clonmel, while Get Home Now has hinted at ability but ULIS DE VASSY is fancied to make a winning debut. Nick Williams does well with his French imports and, from the same family as useful hurdler/chaser Labelthou, his gelding could be the one to beat in a modest juvenile hurdle.
