Shee’s Lucky has made the best impression of those with hurdling experience having finished runner-up at Leicester last month and is preferred to both Mirzam and Shine Baby Shine. She should go close but TOMORROW MYSTERY is above average on the Flat with a rating of 82 and she gets the nod to make a winning start over timber now sporting the McManus colours having recently joined Paul Nicholls’ powerful yard. Let's Be Happy and Sin Sin are others making their hurdling debuts though neither are rated as high as the selection on the Flat.
