Verdict

This test is slightly on the sharp side for CUSHENDUN but this isn't a strong maiden hurdle and the feeling is that we haven't seen the best of him. Queens Secret won her point and while she's been off a year, she has to command respect, as does Bold Reflection after an even longer lay-off with the market likely to help assess that pair.
