Verdict

Those with hurdle experience don't set the bar that high so it may pay to focus on bumper winners KISS MY LUCKY EGG and Notkeepingyagoing, with a narrow preference for the former. Apples In Winter and Miss Fourie are others who should get involved.

  1. KISS MY LUCKY EGG
  2. NOTKEEPINYAGOING (IRE)
  3. APPLES IN WINTER (IRE)
