0.73 LILLY PEDLAR; 2.75 DANCING DANI (IRE); 3.50 GERBOISE BORGET (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.
LILLY PEDLAR has been found a great opening in this novice hurdle. Nicky Henderson's charge was disappointing at Sandown last time but is back up in trip and finished a good third in a Grade 2 at Newbury two starts back, form which reads well in the context of this race. Gerboise Borget and Dancing Dani are the dangers, but Chantilly Haze looks up against it.
