Nikolayeva beat a subsequent hurdles winner over 1m4f on soft going at Leicester in October and she has claims in this if taking to hurdles. Phillapa Sue is usually thereabouts but has become expensive to follow and preference is for MAYHEM MYA. A decent sort in bumpers, she was thrown in at the deep end on her hurdles bow at Haydock but wasn’t disgraced and should find this a lot easier. Good Look Charm had a good chance in the 3.20 Hereford yesterday but would have to be considered if diverted here.
