Little Lou is a good battler and is selected as a good value alternative to Sandai, who is likely to be a popular choice in the betting. Southern Regent is another that is going the right way and will have to be of interest if the market vibes are positive. Hurdling debutantes and stablemates Cool Sands and Parkview Love are intresting recruits but lack experience, so are best born in mind for future reference. Southern Regent won multiple races in India and has adapted well to the jumping game. Alan King is a dangerous man to oppose and his charge merits plenty of respect. Sendai has not always impressed in the closing stages of his races and is not one to be supporting with maximum confidence. However, he is very consistent and it is difficult not to see him making the frame if his jumping holds together. However, Little Lou is proving to be a resilient performer and, as she is versatile regarding the ground, Alan Swinbank's mare is the sporting choice in this company.
