Drumviredy landed an ordinary Exeter hurdle last November but has probably had limitations exposed subsequently, whilst Kentford Myth is arguably going to prove more at home in average handicaps. However, BRISE VENDEENNE is really solid at this level and may well be good enough in receipt of a valuable 6lb from the penalised pair in such testing conditions. Lifeboat Mona, a more than decent bumper performer, hacked up on hurdling debut here before being pulled up in truly atrocious ground next time in Listed company behind Myska. Clearly much better than that, she represents a major danger to the Hobbs mare if back to her best.
