Batwomen should be suited by a switch to hurdles and Kay Tara Tara, a useful bumper, made an immediate impact over timber at Huntingdon. Easy To Follow pulled hard at Uttoxeter but made all and she clearly handles heavy going. Hughie Morrison had a Grade 1 winner on Saturday and STUTI can keep the feel-good factor going as she made a promising start over hurdles at Market Rasen, where she finished ahead of Bethka.
