Verdict
MOZO made a successful debut on very heavy ground at Uttoxeter in May and, with several winning jumpers in her pedigree, everything looks set for a successful start to her hurdling career. Sunshine Corner started out with an impressive bumper victory at Bangor before finding Listed company too tough at Aintree and Cheltenham. She has a nice pedigree for jumping and looks the main threat in a poor contest. Ding Ding was plating class on the Flat and was well beaten on her hurdling bow while the remainder have shown very little either over hurdles or on the level.
