ENCHANTED GARDEN has the best form on offer and can defy a penalty. He scored at Market Rasen on his hurdling debut and a winner has already come out of the race. Slipper Satin has won a maiden hurdle at Fakenham but she's disappointed in a couple of subsequent starts, though still looks the main danger given Take The Cash faded badly on his hurdling bow at Catterick. The remainder are even harder to fancy with Thatildee perhaps proving best of them.
