Verdict

Hurdles debutantes MOONLIGHTINTHEPARK and Azahara Palace are both appealing based on their exploits in different spheres. The latter was a winner of five of her 22 starts on the Flat and is just the type that her new yard excels with. However, preference is for Moonlightinthepark, who was beaten by a potentially very useful filly in The Flaggy Shore (easy winner of a Warwick bumper last week) on her sole start between the flags. Irish import Ufouria is third choice ahead of Anariza.

5	Runner-up sole start in Irish points during the spring, form which was given a boost when the filly who beat her made a pretty impressive start under Rules in a Warwick bumper last week. Interesting to see how she shapes up in the betting. 1st Pick 5 Moonlightinthepark (Ire) Jockey: Craig Nichol Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Craig Nichol T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	98	-	-	-	10%

2	Fairly useful handicapper at up to 13.5f on the Flat for Hughie Morrison, latest success gained at Epsom in July. Changed hands for 35,000 gns and she's of interest on hurdles debut with Brian Hughes booked (Hughes partnered a winning hurdles debutant for this yard last week). Hood applied. 2nd Pick 2 Azahara Palace Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Adrian Keatley J: Brian Hughes T: Adrian Keatley	97	-	-	-	34%

7	Bumper winner for Paul Nolan in Ireland and the second of her 3 runs over hurdles, when fourth of 14 at Wexford (2m, good to soft) in March, is just about the best form on offer here. Stretched by the 20.7f trip at the same course next time and she's of interest back at 2m on debut for new yard. 3rd Pick 7 Ufouria (Ire) Jockey: Jonathan Burke Trainer: Alastair Ralph J: Jonathan Burke T: Alastair Ralph	100	-	-	-	29%	Scratched
