Verdict
HOBB'S DREAM made a successful return to hurdling when beating Gentleman Jimmy by eight lengths over C&D three weeks ago. She was put up 11lb for that success but Andrias Guerin again takes off 10lb and the mare is fancied to go in again. Changing Lanes landed a huge gamble at Southwell last week when Western Whisky finished tailed off but the penalty here would have to be a worry, while Not So Prudent was pulled up at Ffos Las last time in a race in which Cannon Fire and Western Whisky finished unplaced. The maiden Kowloon isn't really improving but Cosway Spirit may do better in first-time blinkers.
