Who Cares Wins, its a Classic and Dizzy Future are the three to consider in a tricky opener and Who Cares Wins gets the nod. Who Cares Wins has a long winless run behind him but he showed improvement last time when finishing a good second in a similar race over this sort of trip. He will handle the ground and in a weak affair looks the safest proposition. Its A Classic has been well beaten in novice hurdles and even his third last time was a remote one, so his ability is questionable. However, he takes a drop in class here so he may well be able to turn in an improved effort. Dizzy Future is another who looks thoroughly exposed but he ran a good second when last seen in this company. He may just prefer softer ground however to be seen at his best. This is not a race to get heavily involved, but Who Cares Wins can live up to his name.
