Very keen prior but still held chances when unseating rider at Dieppe (2m, soft) on debut last month. Wears a hood for the first time.

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Lucy K Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

40/1

Placed on the Flat for Mark Johnston but pulled up on hurdles debut at Aintree (good) recently and others hold stronger claims.

12/1

Victorious in a seller over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield (good-to-soft) on his final start for Richard Hannon. Worth a check in the market on hurdling debut.

Adams Park (13/8), Test Valley (13/8), Boko Fittleworth (11/2), Strongarm Chaser (12/1), Ventura Magic (12/1), Jaycols Star (16/1), The Accountant (33/1), The Jungle Vip (40/1), Saint Anthony (66/1)

The application of a hood should help TEST VALLEY settle better than when making his debut in France and he can get off the mark in this juvenile hurdle. The selection represents a leading yard and he can see off hurdling debutant Adams Park who was placed on the Flat for his previous yard. Boko Fittleworth has joined a useful stable and can claim third.
