    Verdict

    Ashton Vale is the TEAMtalk selection in this puzzling novice hurdle. A gradual improver, he had a bloodless victory last time out at Wincanton and is a confident choice despite having a double penalty on ground that will suit. Short Change showed he had ability last time out at Hereford but will need to improve to land this. The German challenger Adecco adds an interesting flavour to the mix and any market moves should be noted.
