Verdict

Useful Flat performer LOT OF JOY couldn't land short odds on her hurdle debut but still offered plenty to work on and is taken to come good at the second time of asking in this sphere. Point winner Deep Cave was a promising second on her hurdle debut in November and may give the selection most to do ahead of Firm Footings. Ho My Lord would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour.
