Verdict
DANCE FOR LIVVY is likely to start a short-price here. She won at the first time of asking over hurdles last week when scoring at Hexham and Ben Haslam's filly should have little trouble following up in this company. Fine Style made a promising debut over timber when second at Ffos Las last week and should make the frame again. He's rated 12lb higher on the Flat than hurdling newcomer Market Maker, while Kissing Clara only won a Wolverhampton seller when last seen in November and has her first start over timber for a new trainer here.
