Verdict

The form of MR HOLLYWOOD’s Galway win is proving strong and there’s surely more to come from him as a hurdler judged on his Flat ability, so he’s taken to come out on top. Kingstonian is a very interesting rival however, himself well above average on the Flat and open to plenty of improvement over this longer trip.
