Glenmoss Tara is taken to open her account over hurdles at the first time of asking. The filly from the yard of Nicky Richards was above average in bumpers; her best run coming at Cheltenham when just touched off by the highly regarded Blue Dante. If she can reproduce that form here she will be hard to beat and is the TEAMtalk selection. Super Sammy rates the main danger. She too won bumpers last season but has been slightly disappointing over hurdles so far, however, her second last time out at Haydock was an improved effort and this longer trip should suit. Keep Ikis is from a yard in top form and has been placed over long distances on the flat of late but this sharp track may not suit and she will be seen to even better effect over an even longer trip. Maddy's Supreme has ran some fair races in defeat of late, travelling well on the bridle but not always finding as much as is expected. Supreme Lass won a bumper at Doncaster on her last run last season and has a good jumping pedigree but may come on for this - her debut over hurdles. Mighty Minster is also well bred but will probably do better in handicaps. Of the others Deer Park Lass is from a yard in top form and could run well at a fair price with the advantage of hurdling experience.
