Showed plenty in bumpers and didn't need to improve to make her second hurdle start a winning one in 9-runner maiden at Huntingdon (20.5f) in February. Below-form last of 3 in handicap final start.

Forecasts

Merry Poppins (15/8), Lime Drop (5/1), Getaweapon (7/1), Malaita (15/2), La Renommee (17/2), Hillfinch (10/1), Sinndarella (12/1), Herewegohoney (12/1), Hiconic (16/1), Maid On The Moon (20/1)

Verdict

Donald McCain won this race last year so it might be worth siding with MERRY POPPINS as it's possible she could have more to offer for her new stable. Herewegohoney and Lime Drop head the dangers along with last year's third Getaweapon.
