David Pipe has picked up a few winners in the last few days and his LUCKY QUAY should add another in this Juvenile Hurdle with Gulf Punch looking the main danger and Sassanian should do well on debut for Tim Vaughan. An easy winner on debut for the Pond House trainer it was disappointing that the pick couldn't follow that up at Sedgefield but he is unexposed and is worth giving another chance to. Gulf Punch wasn't anything special on the level and looks just as limited over jumps with his only win coming in a selling hurdle at Stratford two starts ago and he might be exposed in this company. Winless in 10 starts on the flat Sassanian narrowly missed out on breaking that duck on his last few starts in that code and he has joined a yard that do well with this type first time up. Joe Rua has a solid hurdles bow to build on but will have to improve to get the better of Lucky Key.
