Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 2m 2f 148y
Louis Veron
LOUIS VERON scored well enough at Warwick just under a fortnight ago to suggest he can defy a penalty. Take The Boat and Maskarvel are closely matched on their recent C&D form and look the main threats.

Confirmed previous promise when making the most of a good opportunity in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Warwick (2m, good to firm) 13 days ago, plenty in hand.

Showed fair form in Irish bumpers (for David Harry Kelly) and stepped up appreciably on his hurdling debut when second of 7 in 2m Huntingdon maiden in early March.

Fair performer at up to 1¾m on the Flat who ran to a similar level sent hurdling when second (finished ahead of Maskarvel) in a C&D novice 17 days ago.
