There are several unexposed runners here, including mares making their debut or those who have raced once or twice. It may pay to side with experience, though, and perhaps OUR VALENTINA can provide the answer. She has shown much better form since switching to hurdles from bumpers, including in soft ground conditions, which should help her today, and the form from her races is generally working out well. She should win a maiden sooner or later and it could easily be this one. Favourites have a good record in this race and if, as expected, Folly Dat fills that role then she has to be feared given the progress she has shown recently for a top trainer, while Westinmare, disappointing over hurdles so far, could be much better having had a break of several months.
