Verdict
BEDALE LANE is taken to make a winning reappearance having won a bumper at Sedgefield on Boxing Day last year. She makes her hurdling debut along with Actinpieces, placed in all three starts in bumpers. Irondale Express looks pretty exposed over hurdles and was well beaten back in maiden company last month while Norfolk Sound and Milly Baloo have shown nothing over timber so far. Shine Away went close in a point to point back in April and makes her debut under Rules for Sue Smith.
