        Verdict

        Felicidad had a consistent record in bumpers but was a big disappointment on her hurdling debut. POGO I AM had slightly better form in bumpers and she was third on her debut over timber last August. If she’s fully wound-up, she can recoup losses in what looks a modest first division of this mares’ hurdle. Cuillin finished tailed off on her hurdles bow but did win on the all-weather in November. Lyrical Ballad may be the best of the four hurdling newcomers but that’s not saying much.
