Verdict

Dual bumper winner PLAIN SAILING showed signs of inexperience on his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot but still won a chase cosily. He can only improve and can double up here under a penalty ahead of more exposed course and distance winner Breaking Bits, though the latter didn't run badly in a handicap last time. Good Of Luck and Flashy Star have hinted at ability but Flat winner Lady Barastar finished tailed off on her hurdling debut and winning chaser Shantou Breeze is also likely to struggle.
