Verdict

Hurricane's Girl looked a certain future winner when runner-up on her debut over hurdles but fell on her next start and was beaten a long way into third at Doncaster. She'll appreciate a stiffer test of stamina though TWO SWALLOWS, who finished 8l in front of her on Town Moor, is also progressive and there doesn't appear any reason for a form reversal. Paul Webber's mare gets the nod though Taylor was odds-on when runner-up at Ludlow on her hurdling bow and was again well supported when only fourth at Catterick in December. Bon Chic landed a Punchestown bumper in October and started long odds-on for her debut for Dan Skelton at Fakenham in December but she struggled for pace over the minimum trip. Mighty Minnie has been well supported in her races to date but failed to reward her backers.
