In depth

Verdict

Very smart hunter chaser My Flora makes her debut over hurdles but this looks like a pipe-opener ahead of a return to fences and this trip is surely too sharp. The shorter distance may also be a problem dual winning pointer Jacalou so SCHOLASTICA looks the one to be on. Tom Symonds' mare has won a couple of bumpers and wasn't beaten far behind Hidden Identity on soft ground at Lingfield on her hurdling debut. Bernard Llewellyn runs Arch Event and Lisselan Pleasure but both have to improve on their first run over timber to figure.
