Programme Girl , Little Bob and Mohayer are three against the field in a trappy opener and the narrow vote is given to Programe Girl. The selection was a fair second behind Jass in a bumper last time out, that form looks rock solid, she is sure to have been well schooled rfor this her hurdling debut and under conditions that suit she looks the one to be on. Little Bob rates the main danger on his debut third behind Astrador he is sure to improve but this trip may tax him and he is taken on with this in mind.Mohayer is another that could go well on his latest second behind The Ring but he has had plenty of chances in similar races without taking one and he is opposed. Of the remainder Naiad du Misselot is a well bred type from a yard in form and is worth a cautionary look in the market while Tomillielou has shown a modicum of ability in bumpers but has not progressed as expected and for the winner we return to Programe Girl.
