Verdict
Not much to go on here but a chance is taken with MARYS CHOICE on her hurdling debut. Joanna Morgan's mare put a poor debut run behind her when giving supporters of the odds-on Snow Falcon a scare in a bumper on this track and her pedigree is all about hurdling. With Henry De Bromhead's stable in unstoppable form, A Sizing Network has to be a danger despite finishing tailed off in a bumper here in April. He'd earlier won a point-to-point by a distance and though he was fortunate do so he's obviously better than we saw last time. Wildebeest was well supported on his debut in a bumper on this track in January but made little impression though he's from a very good family of jumpers and should do better in time. The four-year-old Who Told Jan is related to some decent winners and is one to note in the market.
