Verdict
A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap hurdle and the principals look to be One For Me Tianyi and Fabrezan and we will take a chance on One For Me. The mare made all to defeat Periwinke Lad over a longer trip last time out over a longer trip. The drop back in distance should not hinder her and with conditions again in her favour she will be hard to beat. Tianyi rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating French Mannequin but he had an easy lead on that occasion and he is not sure to get that here, he is also unproven over a trip this far so for that reason he is opposed on this occasion Fabrezan is also worthy of respect on his best form but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him when second behind Quick last time out. Of the remainder Jardin Fleuri is from a top yard but has shown virtually nothing so we are happy to side with One For Me.
