French import, form in point-to-points so far in Britain is modest at best and doesn't make significant appeal heading over hurdles.

Sulamani mare, modest appeal on paper and probably best watched on hurdles bow having been tailed off in a bumper at Cheltenham last month on first rules start.
Was returning from more than 1000 days off to make hurdling introduction here three weeks ago over 2m5½f (good) and was pulled up having never seemed capable of defying odds of 300-1. Watching brief.
Twice a winner in Irish point-to-points, she ran fair in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon (2m, good; 7-1) last month on debut for this trainer (fourth). Has to improve to get off the mark, seemingly.

66/1
10-year-old gained both of her career wins over fences back in 2016, hasn't achieved anything in six runs this year after 500+ days off that suggests she'll be landing this contest (unplaced in five runs over timber previously).
Made all to land Warwick bumper on Rules debut in February and was good third in Cheltenham bumper last time out. Represents fine yard and is related to hurdles winners so makes plenty appeal going jumping.

Forecasts

Yeavering Belle (1/5), Ena Baie (11/8), The Crafty Touch (7/2), Kapoupakap (20/1), Triggywinkle (66/1), No No Tonic (125/1), Russian's Legacy (150/1)

Verdict

It seems certain that Ena Baie will improve on her hurdling debut in November where she didn't find as much as might have been hoped late on. She will have races in her over timber but might have to settle for second-best behind YEAVERING BELLE now. The Warwick bumper winner has also run well in that sphere at Cheltenham and is bred to be better now going jumping. The looks to have it between them, with The Crafty Touch best of the remainder.
  1. Yeavering Belle

  3. The Crafty Touch
