Verdict

Valentines Lady gets the narrow vote in this handicap hurdle with Anglicisme and Ballyboley rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Uncommited, enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit she is taken to win again. Anglicisme rates the main danger behind Blue Splash. However this shorter trip looks against him and he is taken on with this in mind. Ballyboley is another worthy of respect as he beat Push The Port with a little in hand last time out. However his penalty may just find him out but by the same token he could improve for this longer trip. Chickapeakray is sure to have come on fore his first run of the season and should be watched in the market while Mr Preacher Man is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is very one paced and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Valentines Lady,
