Verdict

This looks a really interesting novice hurdle for the time of year. Ritual Of Senses has scored the last twice when suggesting he may have a quirk or two but is clearly useful whilst Hassle returns to action after finishing last of 20 in the Ascot Stakes at the Royal meeting. He, too, has occasionally intimated he's not the most straightforward and MISS CRICK is preferred as she seeks the hat-trick. Alan King's mare seems to have come to herself in the past couple of months and displayed a neat turn of foot to see off For Goodness Sake, stable companion of Ritual Of Senses, at Ffos Las last month - it's a tight call but she shades the verdict. Instant Karma is not discounted although some improvement is required and useful Flat handicapper Winterlude ought to make a fair hurdler but probably needs more time.
