Verdict

SHE RANKS ME was in front and going well when falling on her chasing bow at Ayr. These fences can also be tricky to negotiate but Donald McCain's mare, a very decent sort over hurdles, deserves a second chance and is getting plenty of weight from Towcester and Newbury winner Baby Shine, who was probably out of her depth in a Grade 2 at Ascot last time.
