Verdict
The opening juvenile hurdle of the season. Bedelia won a Ballinrobe claimer for Gavin Cromwell ten days ago and has joined Shark Hanlon. Show No Fear has a similar rating on the Flat but has been improving and a close second at Roscommon last month puts him in the frame for this. DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE is the fifth foal of a mare who has produced four winners including a hurdler. She's shown potential in three runs on the level and can make a successful start over timber. Spinning Web may prove best of the remainder.
