My Keepsake might improve for the switch to hurdles with a similar comment applying to Mondora but NINA THE TERRIER already has form in the book. She beat a decent yardstick on her hurdles bow at Warwick in May and can defy her penalty. Mansoline won a bumper in the spring but winning pointer Runwiththetide makes more appeal over this trip.
