Verdict

UPON TWEED created a very good impression on his C&D hurdle debut and is likely to remain unbeaten. Stede Bonnet's bumper ability suggests he's better than he showed on his Galway hurdle debut and he's taken to fill the forecast spot ahead of Takenasred. Like Minded is a newcomer to note in the betting.
