This isn't a strong contest and Olly Murphy who has made a sparkling start to his training career nay well have found an easy opportunity for BANFF who should really be up to getting a first hurdles win here. Stetsonsnstillettos makes her handicap debut here and provides the biggest danger for another yard in form with most of the others having very poor profiles. Of that bunch Apachee Prince might be able to show a little more but overall he's not one to rely on.
