By proven NH sire Walk In The Park and out of a winning pointer, Lady Jane P should relish this switch to hurdles having shown good form in bumpers. Peace River jumped poorly but still finished ahead of a subsequent winner when second to John Locke here in November. His yard also run Presenting Pete but FRERE D’ARMES (NAP) looks the one to be on as he gave supporters of the odds-on Balco Coastal a fright at Ludlow last month when making his debut under Rules. Dream In The Park keeps finding one too good but should be winning over hurdles once he gains experience.
