Verdict
Bobbina, placed in a Grade 3 over timber in a light career, has always looked more likely to make a chaser and is one to keep an eye on. Lough Roe Lady ran well on only her third start over fences at Limerick and there should be more to come while Grade 3 winning hurdler Top Madam makes her chasing debut but a victory between the flags suggest she won't be daunted. MISS PALM won two point-to-points then showed nothing in a couple of hunter chases but she's improved massively over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity to gain her first victory over regulation fences.
