ASTHURIA will be a warm order on her chasing debut and looks to have been found a good opportunity though she fell in two of her first three starts over hurdles. Her winning form over timber includes a Listed contest and she should make a successful debut. Miss Sassie made a promising start over fences behind La Bella Vida here last month, with Blazing West a long way behind, but has since been well beaten over hurdles. Conduct Yourself has won four times over timber but hasn't fired so far over the bigger obstacles while Head Turner, another four-times winner over hurdles, was well beaten on her chasing bow at Clonmel.
