Impressive winner of a Listed race at Haydock last time when comfortably beating two subsequent winners including Ms Parfois. She should confirm that superiority and looks set to maintain her unbeaten record over hurdles.
Stepped up from landing two low grade handicaps to finish fourth in a Grade Two at Doncaster last time. Stable in form and jockey has a good strike rate on the yard's hurdlers. Trip does look to be on the short side, though, having earned her stripes over three miles.
Admirable mare whose career record stands at three wins and three seconds. Came up against a useful looking recruit last time but this looks even tougher.
Looks held by Colin's Sister and shapes as though she may need more of a test than this will offer. Yard in good form with three winners and three seconds from their last 10 runners.
Expensive buy after landing an Irish point-to-point. Showed promise in some hot bumpers before easily landing the odds on her hurdling debut. Subsequently weak in the market before finishing third in Listed company when looking short of pace. Cruising before coming down two out when stepped up to this trip last time and stable took this in 2013.
Forecasts
Colin's Sister (1/1), Happy Diva (5/2), Theatre Territory (6/1), Ms Parfois (9/1), Kelka (14/1)
COLIN'S SISTER has done everything that has been asked of her so far and with her yard continuing in fine form she is taken to concede weight to her rivals. The pick of these is Happy Diva who represents another in form yard and for whom the booking of Richard Johnson catches the eye. Theatre Territory was picked up for 200,000GBP in Ireland. Her form to date does not match that of her rivals but it may be that we are still to see the best of her. She is feared representing a yard who rarely leave Sandown empty handed.
1. Colin's Sister
2. Happy Diva
3. Theatre Territory
