GOLDEN TAIPAN is taken to make a winning return from a break in this novice hurdle event. The selection won and placed in the spring and he can see off fellow hurdles winner Carry On who finished fourth on his most recent start. Third place can go to Get Back Get Back who showed decent form on the Flat and represents a good yard on hurdling debut.
