Verdict

A competitive-looking mares' hurdle and She Ranks Me will have to improve again on wins at Cartmel and Fontwell if she's to complete her hat-trick under a double penalty. Glenora Gale and Hannah Jacques have plenty of experience but it took the former nine attempts to get off the mark while the latter's strike rate is equally unimpressive, though she ran well under a big weight in a novices' handicap over 3m here last time. Hidden Identity was beaten 25 lengths on her hurdling debut at Catterick in March and hasn't been seen since and TOO GENEROUS is more interesting. She has a nice Flat pedigree so it's no surprise that she's already won a couple of bumpers but she'll take the beating in this if translating that form to hurdles.
