MIZEN MASTER beat higher rated horses than these to win a claiming hurdle at Worcester recently and Olly Murphy’s charge should go close again with a similar effort. Vive Le Roi has found only one too good the last twice now and should be in the mix while Take A Break can figure today with a conditional taking 10lb off his back. Ayelya won a maiden hurdle in Ireland but has to figure in a couple of starts for the selection’s yard and the remainder are even harder to recommend.
