      Verdict

      The Bay Birch has developed into a useful chaser but has only been placed once in 10 starts over the smaller obstacles. DESIRABLE COURT may also make a chaser in time as she’s already won a point but she can win plenty over hurdles before that judged on her wide-margin victory at Newton Abbot. Queen's Magic boasts decent form in bumpers and looks a nice prospect so can’t be ignored.
