A low-grade affair sees Share My Dream selected ahead of Parbyblos and Backlash. Share My Dream gets the vote courtesy of proving that she can win at this type of level, having scored in an Exeter selling handicap hurdle from a mark of 87 in March. A repeat of that type of effort would give her a decent chance today. Think Of The Money won a selling handicap hurdle in May, but that success came from a mark of 68. Backlash gets a mention courtesy of the fact that she showed a modicum of ability on her hurdling debut and the fact that she hails from canny connections, while Parbyblos is a little hard to assess but she does come here as a French Flat winner, although that May success came in a non-thoroughbred event. The Paul Nicholls-trained Wishuwerbay also has to get a mention, although she was cheaply acquired and is making her racecourse debut at this lowly level. As we say, the market might provide some clues. Finally, Aristi is blinkered for the first time but the headgear will need to bring about improvement if she is to feature today. All of which returns us to the selection, which is Share My Dream.
