Verdict
Billy The Squid looked beaten in second when unseating at the last at Southwell recently and TEN THOUSAND STARS is preferred. She was beaten less than a length at Sedgefield on her hurdling debut despite failing to get a clear run and another bold bid is expected. Several have switched yards as they debut over timber including Red Missile, a maiden winner on the Flat for William Haggas, while Jan Wellens won on the level in Ireland and Le Magnifique arrives from Germany.
