Maiden hurdle winner BIDDY THE BOSS is penalised for that success but went close at Clonmel recently and Gavin Cromwell’s Irish raider may still prove good enough in this company. Bumper winner Maebh showed ability when third at Uttoxeter on her debut over timber while most of the remainder have form in point-to-points. That includes Nicky Henderson’s She Mite Bite and the maiden points winner Millarville. Ballybough Nora and Bastante are other winners between the flags and preferred to My Dixie.
