The market will no doubt prove informative in this mares' novice with the majority making their hurdling debut. Preference is for LUNE BRILLANTE, who is the pick of these on bumper form and Harry Skelton has chosen her over Wet Sail. Second choice is Sapphos Word, who twice found only one too strong in bumpers last season, with Jenny France taken to fill out third.
