Mrs Hyde hasn’t raced since third in a Listed race at Newbury in November but she has been waiting for the ground to dry out and has already won four times this season. However, she is only getting 2lb from STEPNEY CAUSEWAY who rattled up a hat-trick last month and is still improving. In what is a virtual match, the latter gets the nod. Readysteadybeau is making his hurdling debut but may still be the pick of the remainder.
