Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Square d'Alboni
Square d'Alboni brings Listed-class form from the Flat in France and that quality edge should count in a maiden hurdle like this; his last outing can be forgiven given he bled, and he returns after a breathing operation for a trainer currently in fine form. Bound For Glory showed sharp improvement in a course bumper here recently and is the likeliest danger, while Mr Rafiki has hinted at ability on both hurdle starts. Square d'Alboni is our selection.
