        Verdict

        Misty Dancer, Early Edition, Pitminster and Tioman look the ones to concentrate on here and we will side with Misty Dancer. The selection was useful on the flat and should be capable of making a winning hurdling debut here. The stable is in good form and with the useful claimer Sam Thomas in the plate, he looks the one to beat. Early Edition is another to consider as he has winning form over hurdles and has conditions to suit, but he is not the most reliable so the percentage call is to take him on. Pitminster pulled too hard on his racecourse debut in a National Hunt flat race at Newton Abbot, but he is sure to benefit from that experience so cannot be entirely ruled out, while Tioman is another that has shown a fair level of form on the flat, and he will be interesting if he is supported in the market. This is a wide open affair with plenty of imponderables, but we will recommend Misty Future to make a winning debut over hurdles.
