A weak and winnable maiden hurdle in which only a small number are of interest. Midnite Grace should be fitter for her Newcastle return, and her conqueror Reverant Cust has run with credit in a decent handicap hurdle since. The Delray Munky has to be considered on her hurdles debut with her trainer in flying form, whilst any runners from the Donald McCain and Lucinda Russell stables should be noted in such a lowly grade. However, SUNSET MARQUIS is the pick on her Hexham form from December, and with plenty of cut still around, she can be taken to put a more recent Hexham spill behind her and get off the mark over hurdles.
