Kim Bailey's CINDERELLA ROSE showed a decent level of form in bumpers last term and followed that good form over to hurdles when landing a novice event over course and distance earlier this month when staying on well to beat Causing Chaos and she can win again. Caroline Bailey's Mayolynn could be of interest on her hurdling debut having shown ability on the flat but a bigger threat is likely to come from Lawney Hill's dual bumper winner Alverstone, who is surely better than she has shown in two runs over hurdles so far. Lucy Wadham's Brixen ran well in both starts in bumpers and is another to consider but it is hard to get away from Cinderella Rose.
