IN MY TEENS rates a most interesting prospect for hurdling given she showed useful (and progressive) form on the Flat and is out of a Grade 1-winning hurdler so she is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Gordon Elliott's fairly useful ex-French bumper scorer Mode Avion also has plenty to recommend him and could emerge as the chief threat to Gavin Cromwell's filly ahead of In The Minus and I'll Be Handy who both have the form to play a part too in a fascinating contest.
