Tread Carefully has the best form, but he's been expensive to follow in six hurdle runs and there are some interesting rivals in opposition. On The Bayou showed clear promise in his two hurdle runs last season, while bumper winner Cool Customer is also in the mix, along with Lord Du Gouet and Ben Cruachan. However the vote goes to point winner EASTERN ROCK, who is a half-brother to a smart jumper and could have a bright future at this new discipline.[David Moon]
