Cats For Cash (7/4), So Enjoy (7/4), Wendy Howell (7/2), Patrick Joseph (8/1), Miraculum (33/1), Heather Blossom (50/1), Amber Run (66/1)

Although she's shown precious little so far Hurricane Fly's half-sister WENDY HOWELL may do better now facing hurdles for the first time. Her top trainer will be keen to get a win out of her for paddock value, if nothing else, and this is a very weak race. Of those with previous experience Cats For Cash is highest rated and should be bang there, while So Enjoy has gone well enough here on her last two starts and has place prospects at the very least. The rest make little collective appeal although there may be a shade of improvement in Miraculum.
