Dual hurdle winner KOMEDY KICKS (1) drops to a career-low rating. Signs of encouragement on stable debut at Ludlow (2mf) this month. Might go well. BELLBIRD (3) won a Ludlow novice hurdle in May. Finished second among handicap company on three of her past four starts. Likely to be thereabouts. INSPIRE HOPE (6) scored tackling hurdles in Ireland during the summer. Was running a big race among Listed company when falling at Newbury on her most recent outing. A definite contender against easier opposition. The consistent THEIRSHEGOES (4) is another for the shortlist.
