It took GLORIOUS TWELFTH four attempts to open her account in bumpers but she shouldn't have to wait as long for a first success over hurdles and Nicky Henderson's mare gets the vote here receiving 6lb from Ludlow scorer Dancingtilmidnight. The latter is preferred to Carole's Destiny, who returned to injury to score at Fontwell but has more on her plate now. Massannie won a Ffos Las bumper on her racecourse debut in January and faced some stiff tasks after. She makes more appeal than points winner Brockwell Park in this.
