Himayna has form in better company and this is probably her best trip. Graeme McPherson's mare is unlikely to be far away again but lacks the scope of MADAMLILY. The latter's debut second over timber at Musselburgh in November has worked out well and she's been in good form on the Flat this year. The five-year-old should land this as Phoenix Lady has been well beaten in her two starts over hurdles, despite making the frame, and Overyou hasn't raced since pulling up at Newcastle in March.
