This looks the weaker of the two divisions of this amateur riders handicap hurdle and Ladies Dancing is likely to be a popular choice given his run last time off a much-reduced mark, this race certainly provides him with a good chance of getting back on the winning trail. HERMOSA VAQUERA is just preferred though on the back of a recent Flat spin that will have put her just right for this the mark looking far from harsh. Matravers makes his handicap debut and on his Flat form he’s well handicapped and it won’t be a surprise to see him step forward on his handicap debut. Given his connections Ataman in first-time cheekpieces and off a reduced mark should be respected if support comes for him.
