Kayfton Pete and Lucky Vic are dropped in class as they revert to hurdling while Paddy Partridge has been placed in similar company over timber of late. Loose Performer also made the frame in a plating race at Southwell recently and first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. Last week's Stratford third Persian Herald has a bit to find at the weights, but POLLY HOPPER has decent claims on today's terms and her placed efforts earlier in the year suggest she's up to winning at this level.
