Rosemauve, Champagne Lil and Second Paige are three against the field in this handicap hurdle and the wen will take a chance on Champagne Lil. The selection won well last time out when defeating Old Feathers at Perth and although she has a penalty for that win she won with a little in hand and is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Rosemauve rates the main danger on her latest second behind the well handicapped Swansea Bay she to will like the conditions and will not be far away. Second Paige is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has yet to win over a trip this far and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Just In Time has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market while Rudi Knight ran as if about to hit form when third behind St Mathew last time and is another that could go well but for the winner we return to Champagne Lil.
