Verdict
CASA LOUPI, a moderate winner on the Flat but beaten just a length by Tritonic on his hurdling debut at Ascot, was beaten 10 lengths by that winner in a Grade 2 at Kempton last month and should go one better in receipt of weight from the two hurdles winners. Naizagai , a winner at Cartmel in August, could hardly have been more consistent and found heavy going against him in a Newbury handicap last time. Today's conditions should see a better performance while Stepney Causeway, who was a long way behind the selection at Ascot, improved out of all recognition when sent to Catterick where he scored in a canter. Has Troke won a bumper in France and led for a long way in a similar race at Market Rasen so could prove best of the remainder on his hurdling debut.
