Take a look at the market here for some indication as to the chances of newcomer Blue Dance, but we are going to side with the more experienced No More Money to finally break her maiden tag in an awful race. Henrietta Knight's charge has been showing no more than moderate form in finishing second, third and racking up three fourths in five starts to date. An uninspired hurdling debut saw her finish 26 lengths adrift at Hereford, but a two length defeat by Henrietta at Exeter last time over a furlong shorter than this gives us much more encouragement. Jim Culloty's mount seems to be getting the hang of the game now and is taken to show more here and win. Blue Dance a relative of Danzig, is from connections who can do well with their runners first time up in this type of race, hence the nod at the market. It is unlikely that the gelding will be found wanting for fitness or jumping ability and a good debut looks on the cards. Of the rest, Brendan Powell's Little Fella makes some appeal based on a staying on bumper effort, but the others look a very ordinary bunch, and we will go for No More Money.
