Verdict

This card is brightened up by this cracking little novice hurdle, which wouldn't look out of place at bigger meetings than this. Let's hope the track are rewarded with a good finish, and TALENT TO AMUSE might just have enough in reserve to hold off some speedy Flat types. Unbeaten in two starts, she showed a turn of foot last time that will hold her in good stead this year. Champagne City is a useful recruit to the hurdling game and should make his presence felt. Both Amour De Nuit and Adrrastos have experience which will help as they try to defy their penalties.
