Verdict

This looks competitive, with CAMPINE ROSE selected to get the better of Classic Quart and Cute N You Know It. The pick, who's making her hurdling debut, has run well in four bumpers, and if taking to the fences, could well reward backers. The ground shouldn't be a problem. Classic Quart is having her first run in more than seven months, and her first for trainer Richard Ford. She's shown a modicum of promise when hurdling, but only ever won a bumper, and the ground may be against her. Sometime though a change of yard can bring about a sudden upturn in fortunes. Cute N You Know It is likely to be supported too after running well in some of her huirdles outings, but may find she's got too much to carry around, giving away half a stone to all her rivals, and in these conditions that may be too much. So we'll be siding with Campine Rose to make a winning hurdling debut.
