Trainer Neil Mulholland is in good form at present with a 17% strike-rate (5/29) in recent weeks and his representative here GOODGIRLTERESA can register her first victory under rules in this highly competitive handicap hurdle. The selection ran well to finish runner-up to a horse who won twice subsequently on handicap debut at Worcester last time and racing off a 2lb higher mark today she can get the better of top weight Stolberg who was a winner last time out and who will appreciate the forecast heavy ground. Garrane remains unexposed and shaped as if a drop in trip would suit when fourth on handicap debut at Warwick last time and he can finish third.
