Shiroccosmagicbaby has had a couple or runs over hurdles but she was a long way behind Alfie's Princess in a point at Lingstown in March last year. The latter was runner-up in a Listed bumper at Huntingdon last December but 14 lengths behind POLITACUS in a Grade 2 at Aintree subsequently. Fergal O’Brien’s mare never stopped improving last season and may be the one to beat in this. The yard also run Endless Supply while Florencethemachine and Similar Story are points winners. Kosasiempre was pulled up on debut at Warwick but ran much better at Wetherby and her yard has excelled with similar types in the past with Elle Est Bleu another to note.
