If fit enough to do herself justice following a 16-month absence, MEEP MEEP MAG may well be the answer. She showed plenty of ability in bumpers in 2019, notably finishing second to a subsequent Grade 2 novice hurdle winner at Wetherby, and this former point winner is likely to relish this stiffer test now switched to hurdles. Glimpse of Gala and Monete rate the main dangers.
