Gary Moore has an embarrassment of hurdling talent this season and Dusky Warbler is another star in the making, he can land this on his way to the festival, Lord Brock and Halcon Genelardais look the pick of the opposition. This six-year-old gelding was a classy stayer on the flat and made a smooth transition to this game when comfortably beating twelve rivals over the two mile trip here. The extra four furlongs this afternoon will be ideal and he looks a good thing to keep his unbeaten record. Halcon Genelardais is a bit of an unknown quantity but has shown plenty of ability in the French provinces and should go well for the in form Alan King yard. Bumper winner Lord Brock made a pleasing hurdling debut at Warwick when sixth behind Heir To Be, he should step up on that effort and could be the main threat to the selection. However there is a touch of class about Dusky Warbler, who is fully expected to give weight and a beating to these rivals
