SLIPPER SATIN ploughed through the mud to win easily at Fakenham last week. She should have no trouble following up in this company unless Aurore D'Estruval has taken a step forward since finishing second over hurdles at Pau in December. The latter has her first start for a new yard today but it's hard to make a case for any of the remainder. Fine Moment was still beaten a distance in heavy ground at Leicester despite finishing third and Lebanna has yet to match her form in bumpers in a couple of starts over hurdles.
