Tickerty Boo looks to have every chance on a recent third at Hexham when making her debut over hurdles. Autumn Surprise edges this at the weights and an earlier placed effort at Wetherby brings her into the equation but SHINE AWAY is just preferred. The latter returns to the smaller obstacles off a lower mark having won over fences at Cartmel in August and Sue Smith’s mare gets the nod in this with the remaining trio hard to recommend.
