    Verdict

    Late Night Lily only found one too good over course and distance on her hurdling debut and probably found 2m too sharp around Fakenham next time. She shouldn't be written off just yet but it will be a surprise if SONG SAA, who has a terrific jumping pedigree, doesn't make her mark over timber. She's already been placed in a couple of bumpers so also has pace. Hollow Bay wasn't disgraced over 2m here in January and Lemtara Bay is another likely to come into her own now going jumping.
