Verdict

MADAME LA PAPILLON hasn't stood much racing but shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on hurdles debut at Wetherby and she could be the one to beat if arriving in similar form. Improving Is This For Real is a likely danger, while Alba Crus travelled well last time and may do better back down in trip. Of the rest, course bumper winner Freddie Steady Go warrants a market check on hurdles bow.
