Progressive three-time winner over hurdles who opened her account in this sphere with a game display in a big-field Cheltenham handicap in October. Given plenty of time to recover from an early fall at Taunton since, she warrants respect back over the smaller obstacles here.

Four-time winner for Dan Skelton who did all she could when third on stable debut at Newcastle in November and returned to form when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (3¼m, good, 9/2) 19 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Not out of things.
|
Won twice this time last year and bounced back to form when taking 9-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 18 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and another bold bid is anticipated.
|
Made a successful debut in bumper here a year ago and has found improvement over hurdles the last twice, including when third of 9 in novice at this course (2¼m, good) 10 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit and she looks a likely improver on handicap debut.

SHUTFRONTDOOR remains with potential and will likely benefit from this stiffer test of stamina on her handicap bow. She gets the nod. Recent C&D winner Miss Goldfire looks the obvious danger given her record here.
