Tocane gets the narrow vote in a tricky finale for punters with Border Fox and Beauty One the others to consider. The selection is a half-sister to the leading juvenile hurdler Quatre Heures and she hails from a stable that merits plenty of respect in these type of events. Ferdy Murphy's string have started to show a bit of form of late and she has an obvious chance of making a winning racecourse debut. Beauty One made a promising racecourse bow at Warwick a couple of weeks ago and he is sure to benefit from the experience so he has to be given serious consideration. Border Fox is another interesting newcomer and anything Len Lungo sends to post here is certainly worth a look in the market. Watermill was well beaten on his debut at Lingfield but he does at least have the benefit of having seen a racecourse before. The market will provide plenty of clues here but we are happy to side with Tocane as our idea of the winner.
