BETTY DUTTON stepped up on her hurdles debut when just touched off by a decent type in a Tramore maiden hurdle recently, in turn pulling clear of the rest. If able to reproduce form akin to that now pitched into a bumper, she will have every chance. The best piece of form in this sphere is just about boasted by I Am Shadow, albeit conditions here are likely to be different to those which she encountered at Galway and a bigger threat may be posed by the Mullins-trained newcomer Little Soiree.
