      Verdict

      Dance Avenue was well beaten in a bumper on her recent debut but Oi The Clubb Oi's found only one too good at Huntingdon on his hurdling bow and looks sure to figure again. Swordbill and Last Enchantment are of similar ability on the Flat and both are preferred to Tommy Shelby but another hurdling newcomer in STYLE DE VOLE makes most appeal. The latter won a maiden race on the Flat at Saint- Cloud during the summer but hails from a family of winners over jumps, including half-brother and winning stablemate Style De Garde, and can make a winning start for powerful connections.
