Although the Nicholls stable could be in for a good afternoon with the odds-on No Drama This End in the Challow Hurdle at 3.00pm,
4/7 is poor value in my eyes and it may be worth looking elsewhere for some each way value with a win a bonus, and a place more profitable than simply backing the jolly.
Starzand comes with a big reputation from the Hobbs/White training team, winning his bumper impressively at Ffos Las on his first start under rules, and the son of Harzand followed that with victory at Ffos Las in a maiden hurdle.
The bare form leaves him with plenty to find with the favourite but he is learning on the job, and at 12/1 as I write, I will be surprised (disappointed) if he cannot hit the top three here, rewarding us if he does with a win an obvious bonus.
