Verdict
Get In Robin, third over 2m here on her hurdling debut, and dual Flat winner Reassurance, who filled the same position at Hexham, have fitness guaranteed but may not have the class of Go Millie Go and WYNN HOUSE. Stuart Edmunds’ mare was second over this trip at Hereford last season and later third over 2m5f at Ludlow but Alan King’s five-year-old is preferred. She is tackling hurdles for the first time but is bred for the job being by Presenting out of an Old Vic mare who won over timber herself - her bumper form last season was impressive.
