Verdict

Andalucia Lady hasn't shown much to date over hurdles but she's been in good form on the Flat and should be capable of better. PENNYS TUNE has just two placed efforts in nine starts over hurdles but she's improved since tackling today's trip and her last run behind Dunroe Boy, who won again on Sunday, would be good enough for this. Sparta Rebel hasn't been beyond 2m and it was fast ground when he did better last time while In The Haven's last success came way back in 2008 and he's been inconsistent subsequently.
