ROBBIE WILDERS

1 Vauban 2 State Man 3 Honeysuckle

This is the race of the meeting and Vauban might cause a minor surprise. While he has to reverse form with State Man on Matheson Hurdle running, he was conceding race fitness that day and last season’s standout juvenile hurdler is open to significant progression. That looks the key formline. Plenty will fancy Honeysuckle to bounce back following her first career defeat in the Hatton’s Grace, but she is vulnerable to younger legs.
