Verdict
Initial instincts are to oppose Je Ne Sais Plus under her big weight on this ground, and so preference is for TIGER LINE ahead of Peveril Pandora. Richard Phillips' Kayf Tara mare has shaped with promise on her first two runs over hurdles, and should be wiser now on this third run. The drop in trip shouldn't be a problem on testing ground and if she gets through the mud then she should go close. Supplementary is a modest flat horse, Princess Of Moscow looks more of a handicapping sort in the future, whilst Peveril Pandora is of more interest. She won on her first start in 2009 and so a long break here shouldn't be a worry. Although she lacks hurdling experience she cannot be ignored on this first run for a new yard. Dollydo should appreciate this drop in grade and has run ok here before, whilst Je Ne Sais Plus has more experience over hurdles than her rivals but she has never raced on ground slower than good. An interesting opener, but preference is for Tiger Line.
