In depth
Verdict
A typically wide-open Novices' hurdle where plenty come into the race with improving profiles. However, Andomache ran a very respectable race at Folkestone at the start of this month and is given a slender vote of confidence over Deep Sigh, Fiery Creek and Flyoff, who all arrive here with chances on the best of their form and are worth considering including in any multiple betting plans if they are supported on course. However, Andromache hails from a yard that really do know the time of day and they will have been heartened by the way Andromache's conqueror at Folkestone fared in a much better race than this last weekend. Therefore, the Toby Balding-trained five-year-old is taken as the value selection to finally rid himself of the maiden tag.
