The Hyde has a notable roll of honour, with 3 winners in recent years that followed up in a Grade 1 novice hurdle, including Hermes Allen and Thyne Hill who landed the Challow, that race the obvious next step for the exciting winner who dispatched some promising rivals in authoritative fashion, he the only one in the field not to have run over hurdles before.

NO DRAMA THIS END (IRE) had shaped well behind the favourite in the Champion Bumper and appealed as a good prospect in turning the tables on his hurdling debut, looking to have thrived physically over the summer; held up, headway seventh, loomed up straight, led soon after last, drew clear, impressive; open to significant improvement, with the Challow the obvious mid-season target.

HEADS UP couldn't justify his market position, but he shaped with plenty of encouragement up in grade, perhaps overdoing things slightly and possibly not needing quite so much of a test at this stage of his career; raced clear, jumped well in main, went with zest, shaken up after 3 out, reduced advantage straight, not fluent last, headed soon after, left behind by winner, just held second; remains with better to come.

KING'S BUCKS (FR) was much improved from hurdling debut over a 5f longer trip, plenty about him physically and clearly with bags of potential; held up, mistake fifth, chased leader seventh, shaken up after 3 out, stayed on approaching last, finished well; sure to progress further and win races in this sphere.

DESTINATION DUBAI (IRE) ran well upped in grade, showing himself effective on much softer ground than previously; waited with, not fluent seventh, shaken up 3 out, left behind soon after.

MONEYGARROW (IRE) has shown promise on each start, highly tried so far over hurdles, and ought to have little trouble winning a race or 2, likely to be suited by a step up in trip; held up, pecked sixth, outpaced approaching 2 out, plugged on run-in.

GREAT FLEET (IRE) was well held, up in grade, the effort of giving chase to the leader telling on him in the closing stages; waited with, took keen hold, chased leader back straight, shaken up 2 out, weakened.

IMPERFECTLYPERFECT (IRE) found the step up in class beyond him at this early stage of his career, beaten long before the trip came into play; tracked pace, lost place after fifth, weakened 3 out, tailed off next; should be suited by 2½m.

INTOSOMETHINGGOOD up in grade, was well held after just 12 days off; held up, labouring fifth, tailed off 3 out.

WELONLYHAVEDONE (IRE) ran no sort of race up in grade, in trouble a long way out; held up, labouring seventh, pulled up next.
