Lady In Hiding lacks a recent run but she had useful form in bumpers and there will almost certainly be more to come over hurdles. Buttsbury Lady only weakened approaching the last when favourite at Uttoxeter but Nico de Boinville prefers the once-raced HAMILTON’S FANTASY (NAP), who went close in a Ascot bumper on her racecourse debut and has bags of scope. A double penalty may have scuppered the hat-trick hopes of Wincanton and Fontwell winner Little River Bay but Phillapa Sue placed in all four starts in bumpers when trained in Ireland and should make a hurdler
