Race preview
Libre De Choeur won a shade cosily at Ffos Las to open his account over hurdles. He has scope for further improvement, but HAWTHORN STREET is another unexposed type likely to make a bold bid. The son of Flemensfirth landed a maiden hurdle at Catterick last month and should have more to offer now handicapping with his yard in fine form of late. Tiger Orchid and Ladronne revert to hurdling off lower marks with the former marginally preferred.
