Not a deep contest by any means and with that in mind a chance is taken on STYLIA. She looked to be brought along gradually in maiden/novice hurdle contests during the winter and very much appeals as the type to progress now handicapping over this much longer trip. Abbeyhill, back over hurdles in first-time blinkers, looks the danger.
