Verdict

Windswept Girl made much of the running when third at Lingfield in November and probably didn’t stay 2m7f here last month. But her form doesn’t compare with that of the four-year-old VOLOKOVA, who carries a penalty but has been showing up well in much better company. Little Else won a Chepstow bumper in December but makes her hurdling debut as does Quietlyflowsthedon, who is surely better than she showed at Hereford.
