BRACKENMOSS looks a surefire winner here in this novice hurdle with both Sisterhood and Bumble Rose worth noting. The selection is the winner of two bumper races from four attempts and looks more than capable of winning more races over obstacle. She was able to win her latest race with a penalty which means she is above average and with the yard hitting form of late she is taken to win on her hurdles debut. Sisterhood showed a marked improvement in form on her seasonal debut when finishing third of 12 at Towcester. She was a big price that day and ran better than expected and she will once again warrant respect. Bumble Rose had continued to improve with experience in bumper races but disappointed last time out at Southwell when sent off favourite to win. She may do better now sent over hurdles so is another to note.
