Race preview
Holly won three bumpers in France but was a well-beaten fifth on her hurdling debut for her new connections at Uttoxeter. She may do better now after her first start in 11 months, but preference is for BRAVEHEART. Second in a Sedgefield bumper in October, he filled the same position when beaten four lengths on his hurdling bow at Taunton after making the running. Huflower won twice in France but was a beaten favourite when fifth at Exeter, but he may improve on his second start following a wind operation.
