        Verdict

        This does not look to be a strong race and Pride is taken to get the better of Opening Hymn. Opening Hymn is by the Champion Hurdler Alderbrook but showed promise on her debut at Newmarket so could go well. However, Pride has shown a good level of promise in being placed in two starts and, nicely bred, could have been found a good opportunity. Gold Bar is nothing out of the ordinary and has even been tried in blinkers. Templet is more American-bred but the market might provide clues. Holy Hayes was bitterly disappointing on her debut here in August. Henry Cecil runs the nicely bred Namaste. Speciality was well held on her debut but might prove better with the experience behind her, particularly if there is some juice in the ground. It leads us back to Pride, who can land this.
