Bleue Away finished second at Worcester when last over timber and found one too good off today’s mark over fences last time. But WHITE HART LADY returned to action with a third over these hurdles and Harry Fry’s mare has plenty of scope for further progress. Jaunty Soria failed to complete at the same fixture here last month having won at Perth before that while Snug As A Bug also disappointed last time and remains 6lb higher than an earlier success at Newton Abbot. Jessica Rabbit is regularly in the mix without winning and is preferred to Baby Sham.
