Tierra Verde is an interesting contender on hurdles bow for the red-hot Whittington yard, she's run well enough in her bumpers to suggest she might have a hand to play. The pair with hurdles form are Scorpion Princes and BEE CROSSING. The former ran a solid race at Ludlow last month, improving on her first start over timber, and just about sets the standard. However, the selection went well behind an odds-on favourite on debut jumping flights at Wincanton on Boxing Day on heavy ground and, with the likelihood she'll build on that over this longer trip, she is taken to get off the mark here. Any support for hurdling debutante Miss Molly Mae would be worth noting.
