Conservative has been declared to run in Thursday's Class 4 Maiden Hurdle (14:10) at Newton Abbot.

The club's five-year-old gelding, who is trained by Joe Tizzard, was last seen finishing a pleasing fifth at Uttoxeter on just his second start over hurdles, and following his next run will be given his opening handicap mark.

Thursday's race is over two miles and two furlongs and a half, so it's a slight step up in trip for Conservative, but given the way he's stayed on well in both of his efforts over hurdles so far, there shouldn't be any stamina concerns.
