Iamastartoo has been ultra-consistent in handicaps this summer and must have a leading chance now back in maiden company but a chance can be taken with jumping debutante JOSIE ABBING. She was well backed to land a Newton Abbot bumper last month and did the job, with the form since boosted by the second and third winning. Peter Fahey's mare could be up to this first time out. Having reached a rating of 91 on the Flat, it isn't hard to envisage Echo Park running well if taking to the jumps.
