In depth
Verdict
Time Interval’s first run over hurdles was not without promise and the four-times Flat winner will know more today. LARCHMONT LASS is the first foal to race of a useful hurdler and chaser and by proven NH sire Walk In The Park. She won a Listed bumper last season but jumping will be her game. Ballee is on an upward curve but, with a penalty, the course and distance will be giving 14lb to the selection. Chatty Chich and Coastal Rock may need the experience while Pride Of Paris might do better in handicaps.
