Verdict

Not a strong maiden hurdle so MOYGANNY PHIL could well be the answer given he's expected to improve on the form he displayed when fourth over C&D in December. Fouroneohfever took a heavy fall when tiring on his hurdles debut but is a big threat if over that, with Mr Jukebox also of some interest.

Failed to meet market expectations when fourth on December's C&D hurdles debut but he's in very good hands and is expected to take a step forward. 1st Pick 5 Moyganny Phil (Ire) Jockey: Robert Dunne Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Robert Dunne T: Olly Murphy	100	-	-	-	34%

2	Fairly useful on the Flat with a win at Catterick last October but on the retreat when falling heavily at last in 4-runner maiden hurdle at Sandown (6/1) 30 days ago. Still finding his feet over hurdles but open to progress if casting that experience aside. 2nd Pick 2 Fouroneohfever (Ire) Jockey: Kielan Woods Trainer: Ben Pauling J: Kielan Woods T: Ben Pauling	97	-	-	-	34%

6	Similar form in bumpers 8 months apart, sixth of 14 at Hereford in November. That isn't form to be getting carried away with but this isn't a strong contest and he's bred to do better over obstacles. 3rd Pick 6 Mr Jukebox (Ire) Jockey: Richard Patrick Trainer: Warren Greatrex J: Richard Patrick T: Warren Greatrex	93	-	-	-	23%
