CLASSIC LORD was useful on the Flat for Andrew Balding and, having been picked up by top connections for a large sum since last seen 9 months ago, he's worth chancing to make a successful start in a very winnable maiden hurdle. Sheishybrid is another interesting recruit from the level and Burren Song is the pick of those with hurdling experience.
