It is hard to see past My Petra here who gets the confident vote with Plume d'Oudairies and Vanilla Delight rated as the main dangers. The selection made an impressive debut over hurdles when getting the better of Carrietau at Haydock. She has the scope to continue to progress and she should prove tough to beat. Plume d'Oudairies has shown some fair form on the flat in France and this Henrietta Knight-trained import has to be worth a look in the market as she is sure to know her job on her hurdling debut. Vanilla Delight was a fair sort on the flat and with Howard Johnson's string in sparkling form it would be no surprise to see him go well on his hurdling bow. Sunley Son was well beaten last time behind Chess Board and will need to leave that running behind to get competitive today. My Petra looked the part on his hurdling debut and with more improvement anticipated he stands out as the obvious choice to land the opener.
