Verdict

The market should reveal plenty here. FLOATING LINE makes her hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson having gone with some promise when a debut bumper runner-up for Olly Murphy and edges the vote. Secret Squirrel went 2-2 in bumpers last spring so is feared most now starting out in this sphere, although fellow newcomers Jolyjump and Highway One O Five also warrant plenty of respect along with Dancing In Brazil who unseated his rider at Wincanton on his hurdling bow.
