This looks a more competitive division of this staying hurdle with two recent Taunton winners looking as though they will play a leading part. Hollow Park looks to have benefitted from a wind op although she has to cope with a higher mark here but the stable are in good form having had a big winner on Saturday. HOO BALLY DIVA is the other winner in that category and she looks to have to defy a 6lb rise and quicker ground but she does have a mildly progressive look about her. Young Lou scored in gutsy style here last time but may be vulnerable this time around while Walter Oneeightone is a potential improver having now had wind surgery.
