Verdict

MIZZURKA won three times in bumpers last season, including a Listed contest at Sandown in March when AP McCoy rode her for the first time. The mare had probably gone over the top when well beaten on her final start at Aintree and, well rested since, can begin her hurdling career with victory here. She gets 6lb from Silver Gypsy, who won easily at Uttoxeter three weeks ago having run the smart L'Accordioniste to a neck at the same track earlier, and the same amount from Naughty Naughty. Brendan Powell's mare, who had Dun See Dee behind when second over C&D last month, was in the process of running another big race at Ascot last time when coming to grief and this is arguably less competitive.
