An open looking race for a novice hurdle. Petrastar has a penalty to carry for his Huntingdon win but that experience can only help his chance here, and he ought not be far away. The likes of Blueskyandsunshine and Bowderek probably have improvement to come but on what they have achieved, that will be required. SHE'S A ROCCA was a ready winner on debut at Ayr before finding Listed company a bit too hot at Huntingdon but that shows the regard she's probably held in, and she can get off the mark in receipt of a stone from Petrastar today. Archi's Affaire has hurdles experience too, and might be the biggest danger.
