Quite a few of these have shown promise, such as Alan King's once-raced Burren Walk, Jonjo O'Neill's point-to-point runner-up Uptown Lady and the Skelton pair of Ever So Cool and Global Harmony, although the latter was slightly disappointing last time. Nicky Henderson is a master in such contests and Hamilton's Fantasy must be monitored extremely carefully in the market on this racecourse debut. KITTY HALL has a tough task conceding 7lb to all rivals but she travelled really well through her race when scoring at Carlisle in December and should make a decent effort of defying her penalty for that success if in the same level of form here.
