Verdict
DAME DE COMPAGNIE (NAP) was only beaten a neck on her hurdling debut at Auteuil just over a year ago and was 10 lengths ahead of the now 129-rated Dreamcatching. She can shrug off an absence on her first start for Nicky Henderson. Passing Call and Tangoed have shown ability in bumpers while Phoeniciana was knocking on the door prior to a poor run when a hot favourite at Plumpton in February. Ginge de Sophia, Rouergate and Scented Lily are all worth a market check.
