Verdict

It's hard to look past PUSH THE LIMIT, who admittedly has a year-long absence to overcome on his hurdling debut but showed smart form on the Flat for Ralph Beckett in 2025 and was sold for a whopping 580,000 gns. Aye Over Tee is bred to make a useful jumper and warrants a close look in the betting, while Dilrisk and Striking Midnight are a couple with frame claims having shown some promise in bumpers last season.
