Reasoning	A tight little handicap hurdle and im going to side with proven performer Le Beau Bai. He was impressive in winning a novice hurdle last time and despite the 7lb rise, this race doesn't look upto much. He has won at the course and is proven in the soft conditions, the only worry is the lack of experience from his lady rider here but 7/2 still represents a value bet. The race will also be run to suit with Axinit in the field who likes to blaze a trail.

Reasoning	What can beat this horse here? Tim Vaughans yard is absolutely flying and this horse comes up against a bunch of no hopers here. He was so impressive in slamming a decent novice hurdle field (for summer jumping) last day and despite not proven in the conditons, 1.45 looks value. His only rival is Bolton Hall but he couldn't win a claimer last day and has stamina limitations in these conditions.
