GOLDEN ACE saw off a pair of above-average winners in ready fashion on her hurdling debut here last month and is selected to defy a penalty with improvement on the cards. Brendas Asking built on her first effort in this sphere when fourth at Kempton recently and may do better still, with Imperious Star a respected newcomer.
