Verdict
CHILLI ROSE can make a winning start to her hurdling career by getting the better of Megasue and Eastern Paramour amongst others. Alan King's filly was turned over at a short price on her seasonal reappearance but the form of her final start last term reads well as she finished sixth in the Listed race at Aintree where she had Megasue, Eastern Paramour and Hopeand behind. She's related to a winning hurdler and is sure to know what's required at the first time of asking. Megasue has the benefit of a couple of runs over obstacles to her name and her jockey is also good value for his claim so she has to be feared. Eastern Paramour shaped well enough on her hurdling bow in a race that is working out well whilst Time To Think can be expected to improve on the promise of her run at Exeter. Sure Josie Sure has shown improved form in bumpers this term and merits respect in a race that threatens to be fairly competitive for one of its nature but Chilli Rose could be the one to beat.
