Verdict

A decent opening novice. Wetherby runner-up BRIXSON gets the vote to make the most of the weight he receives from Huntingdon winner So You Know. Abbey Scope is a promising recruit to hurdling after a bumper success in the spring, while it'll also be interesting to see whether Quaviste's backers keep the faith after his Stratford reversal.

1	Very green when down the field in a valuable Punchestown bumper on debut in April but showed much more promise when making a winning start over hurdles in 2m Huntingdon maiden on return 24 days ago, finding plenty to lead near finish.

2	Telescope gelding who overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a Kelso bumper in April.
