Maiden Stakes | Hurdle | 1m 7f 144y
Conditions: Good (Good to Soft in places)
First Candidate
This looks a decent opportunity for FIRST CANDIDATE to make it fifth time lucky over hurdles. Olly Murphy's new recruit Atlantic City is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding hurdle newcomer Cappa Lass

Irish point winner who is progressing nicely over hurdles, shaping well when second of 15 on 2m Kelso handicap debut a fortnight ago.

Fair maiden hurdler for Ciaran Murphy in Ireland. Below-form fourth on her final start there in October but capable of bouncing back on her first outing for Olly Murphy.

Half-sister to useful hurdler Cottesloe Sunshine. Runner-up on completed start in Irish points last April and the winner of that race was second in a Newbury bumper 5 weeks ago. Fitted with a hood on hurdle debut with Harry Cobden doing the steering. Interesting to see what the betting makes of her.- 4Dolly DramaJ: Charlie MaggsE: Donald McCain34Âge 516/116/114/1
