A large field goes to post for this novices hurdle but on closer inspection not many ccan be given a serious chance of winning and the principals look to be Lady of Fortune, Zaffaran Express and The Wife's Sister and the confident vote is given to Lady Of Fortune. The selection won well last time out when defeating Safe To Blush and although she has a penalty for that win she is sure to have come on for the run and will be hard to beat. Zaffaran Express rates the main danger on her latest third behind Marsh Run but her best form is over a longer trip and for that reason she is passed over on this occasioln. The Wife's Sister is another worthy of respect on her debut second behind Jeringa she is sure to have been well schooled for this her hurdling debut and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder My Lady Link is from a top yard and would have a chance on her best form but dhe has been very dissapointing of late for no apparent reason so can not be put forward with any confidence and for the winn we return to Lady Of Fortune who looks sure to improve.
