A case of quantity over quality in this maiden, BELLS GROVE selected to build on the promise of his hurdling debut third with further improvement on the cards. Tiffany Case ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so she could be the one to offer most resistance, with Spanish Rising also worth a second look on hurdling debut for his powerful yard. Pit River would also warrant plenty of respect should he get a run for Gordon Elliott.
