This won't take much winning and is complicated by the fact that many of these jockeys lack a bit of experience. The booking of David Noonan for Lucy Wadham's mare PERSIAN BREEZE, who gets all the allowances, catches the eye. She didn't shape badly on her debut over hurdles at Huntingdon and was placed several times on the Flat. Baltic Storm may be capable of reversing Doncaster running behind Holly Bush Henry with the front-running Deadly Approach as the latter didn't build on that effort next time. Hannington has won four times on the Flat but makes his hurdling debut and it's a long time since another Flat winner Marshgate Lane showed any worthwhile form.
