Verdict

A slightly sub-standard renewal of the Challow Hurdle, but plenty of likeable horses in the line up nonetheless. Dame Rose is the sole mare in the race, and she is a tough, gritty performer who wears her heart on her sleeve, but looks potentially a shade vulnerable over this longer trip. Kilbricken Storm arrives as the most progressive of the field, but this race comes quickly on the back of his 3m Grade 2 Cheltenham victory a fortnight ago, so there might be just a glimmer of a weakness which could be exploited by POETIC RHYTHM. The Fergal O'Brien camp continue to make a sizeable impression on the National Hunt scene, and their Persian War winner lost little in defeat by the classy On The Blind Side at Cheltenham in mid-November and should represent slightly more value in the market than Kilbricken Storm.
