VERDANA BLUE will be a short price in this and is impossible to oppose. She ran two cracking races on the Flat over the summer and can probably be forgiven her defeat by Silver Streak at Kempton earlier this month given the winner is a proven Grade 1 hurdler. Mrs Hyde is a fast-improving mare but steps out of novice company for the first time. Midnights' Gift didn’t stay 2m4f at Market Rasen and is another with place claims but Whitehotchillifili should chase home the selection if she reproduces her sixth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in March.
