Adroit Approach was a touch keen early, but he came through to challenge at the third-last and kept on. He should win a race.
Pressgang showed plenty of promise in bumpers two seasons ago, but he isn't proving as good over hurdles. He was having his first attempt at this trip, but tended to run in snatches until coming through to lead going to the third-last. Hard driven going to two out, he faded back into third. He ran well enough to suggest he can win a small race, though, and may well prove better at 2m.
Wide Receiver wasn't disgraced on his first run over hurdles, while General Potter made much of the running but dropped away from the third-last and Murphys Beau was far from fluent.
