Verdict

BLUE HAWAII was well on top at the finish when landing a Catterick novice hurdle last time and, while the form isn't proving all that strong, she's open to further progress now switched to handicaps, so she's preferred to recent Perth chase winner Fanzio. Nordic Combined arrives in good order and can't be totally dismissed.
