Presumably something was amiss with Blurred Lines when pulled up at Worcester last season as she hasn't been seen since. Her previous form would see her go close but she may be best watched although a market check is strongly advised. Erica Starprincess also showed promise on her sole hurdling appearance back in October 2013 but has been tailed off on both starts on the level since her return to action. Therefore, this may be fought out between the Irish raiders with the more established form of KNOCKLAYDE SNO CAT from the Crawford yard just preferred to the potential of Gordon Elliott's Western Home. The selection showed up well for a long way at Sligo a week ago and should be spot-on here.
