Verdict
Granny Biddy is making her first appearance of the summer and makes minimal appeal on her chase debut on ground that may not suit. The Kings Baby made a promising debut over fences last month, but all of her best form has been over further, and Ask Susan hasn’t impressed in four outings over timber. The going may not be ideal for KARALEE but she was a solid hurdler, jumps well and has the potential to improve over fences. She could be the answer ahead of Jaime Sommers who drops back in trip after a promising chase debut and the lightly-raced Special Diamond, who is surely better than her October form.
