We open with a novice staying event which looks to be tricky as quite a number of these have similar levels of form but hopefully WOODMORE can get his head in front from Supreme Plan and Identity Parade. The selection had very good form in Ireland for Conor O'Dwyer before being sold for £30,000. He has not cut much ice since coming from the Emerald Isle but his form has improved each time he has stepped up in trip. He has been given some tough tasks behind the likes of Possol but today's race is his easiest assignment to date. He has plenty of potential and should go well with the step up in trip to suit. Supreme Plan is another Irish import was had decent bumper form but has a similar profile to that of the selection. This is his easiest task to date but would appreciate some rain. Identity Parade was second in a weak mares hurdle on her latest start but that form is still respected in comparison to her rivals. She represents a top trainer/jockey combination so must be monitored. Bridgewood Belle won his latest start but this looks tougher. One to keep an eye on is Little Bit Of Hush who ran behind the likes of Planet Of Sound and Pasco in 2008. He has obviously had his problems but he could figure at a nice price in this lesser affair but Woodmore gets the nod.
