Irish point-to-point winner picked up for £80,000 by these connections, looked good in making winning start at Newton Abbot this month and every reason to suspect she'll go well under the penalty.
Finished runner-up first three starts over hurdles last spring but has gone backwards since, unseating after some poor jumping at Huntingdon last month and then leaving rider on the floor after antics at the start at Newton Abbot this month.
Beneficial mare has scaled new heights over fences since joining this handler, winning three times already in 2018. Must now prove she can hold that form mark back over timber.
Forecasts
Desirable Court (6/4), The Bay Birch (15/8), Queen's Magic (11/4), Swatow (14/1), Cup Of Gold (50/1), Never Go Short (50/1)
DESIRABLE COURT got off to a perfect start under rules at Newton Abbot and Alan King's mare should prove up to the challenge of carrying a penalty, with likely further improvement forthcoming. Queen's Magic is an interesting recruit to hurdling and may give her a race while The Bay Birch will be interesting if replicating her much-improved chase form over the smaller obstacles.
