Starshine Legend showed clear ability when finishing third on his hurdle debut and has room to take another step forward with conditions in his favour today. Scriabin is the obvious rival, having gone down by just a head at this course and distance last time, while Clanokre Lass made a pleasing hurdles debut and cannot be dismissed from a strong yard. Our selection is Starshine Legend.
Liberty Coach showed plenty of ability on the Flat and brings the strongest Flat form into this contest. If he can transfer that level of ability to hurdles, he should prove very hard to beat in the opener.
