Leading British Triumph Hurdle hope BURDETT ROAD (1) can remain unbeaten over obstacles despite carrying a penalty. Was good enough to win at Royal Ascot on the flat and impressed winning twice with hurdles so far. Irish raider HARSH (4) scored by 8L at Cork on his second hurdle start. Looks a chief threat. SALVER (5) has won both hurdle outings impressively however this demands significantly more. Course and distance winner BALBOA (3) boasts solid place chances. Will need to improve if troubling the main selection.
