Have avoided looking at the competitive handicap hurdle at Hereford this arvo, concentrating instead on the weak novice and lowly handicap chase, a mistake I'll doubtless regret!
Nevertheless, the value in the former race comes from taking on Fabulous Jet. Silver Sister is likely to find this an insufficient test and I'm more interested in Josear and Sunisa, neither of whom are particularly good, but this is a weak race of its type and at the prices I can afford to dutch the pair.
1pt win Sunisa @ 17/2
1pt win Josear @ 17/2
The handicap chase is more interesting than it looks. Both Cusp and Mondial Jack look potentially well treated if off today, whereas Los Suenos almost certainly remains capable of better and Queen Excalibur is simply far too big a price.
1pt win Mondial Jack @ 12/1
1pt win Cusp @ 9/1
1pt e/w Los Suenos @ 9/1
0.5 pt e/w Queen Excalibur @ 50/1
