A winner on the Flat, PERFECT GRACE made winning debut over hurdles when scoring by six lengths over course and distance. She can defy a penalty in this company with Brian Hughes keeping the partnership intact. Gerboise Borget is fitted with a hood for her hurdling bow having finished fourth in a bumper at Uttoxeter while Pink Sheets has won a bumper but was well beaten on her first start over timber. Coulonces can only improve and point-to-point winner Hot To Trot has had wind surgery since last in action while Miss M makes most appeal of those arriving from the Flat.
