FLORAL SPINNER has already won a couple of bumpers and her pedigree suggests she'll do well over hurdles. Getting 7lb from previous winners Frolic Along and Smiling Lady, Bill Turner's mare looks the one to be on here though Awesome Bella wouldn't need to improve much on her second at Towcester in March to get involved. Shantou Breeze has the past form to figure but has become expensive to follow while Ruby Glow may need more time.
