Florentino, Deadline and Jane of Arc take the eye for this selling hurdle, and JANE OF ARC can prove good enough. After winning a novice hurdle at Kelso in January, Florentino has not really progressed since, although he was good enough to be placed on the Flat. His most recent efforts have been dismal, latterly in this grade, and he is best watched here. Jane of Arc has turned in a couple of solid performances in novice contests at Musselburgh recently, where she also won a seller on the Flat this summer. Her level of form commands respect at this level and she looks sure to go well. Deadline has run with credit in two recent selling contests, and he looks sure to run his race, but he is well exposed, and his one win in thirty attempts does not imbue confidence. Jane of Arc has been running in better contests than this and can make the drop in grade count.
