Verdict

Jordan's Light was an easy winner of a selling hurdle at Kelso in November and should strip fitter for his first outing since then on the level at Hamilton earlier this month but Peter Monteith's gelding may struggle to give weight away to EDDIE DOWLING, who is just preferred to Shipboard Romance. The last mentioned ran better in a novices' hurdle at Kempton in January when last seen and she has to be respected dropping into this grade but she remains a maiden under all codes after 17 starts and may have to settle for minor honours. Red Seven has been well beaten in recent starts in Ireland and is hard to recommend. Paul Flynn's Cherri Fosfate is lightly raced over hurdles after just three starts, remains open to improvement and may do better dropped into a claimer today. Ian Ferguson's Knocklayde Rose is similarly lightly raced but needs to improve on all known form to trouble Eddie Dowling. Gordon Elliott's gelding has shown a consistent level of form in limited opportunities over hurdles and dropped into this grade looks to have found the perfect opportunity to open his account over timber.
