Verdict

She's No Muppet can follow up in the last, with La Perrotine, Dewasentah and Sweet Ard taken to give her most to do. Jonjo O'Neill always has his bumper horses tuned up to go well first time and so it came as no surprise when She's No Muppet obliged at Warwick at the start of the month. In truth, despite the size of the field, the race took little winning, but she can only have learnt from the experience and is taken to follow up. La Perrotine had Dewasentah back in sixth when scoring at Hexham just less than three weeks ago and should uphold that form at least. However, she was not winning out of turn, having had the benefit of a couple of outings last season, and it is interesting that she turns up here as she was set to go hurdling. Connections are obviously being patient with her and she should eventually make a go of it over timber, but they probably groaned when they saw She's No Muppet among the entries. The Reveley's have always paid to follow in this sphere, so both Dikler's Rose and Northern Shadows are worth a mention, while Sweet Ard hails from a stable that generally houses some nice youngsters. All will pay their way in time no doubt, but She's No Muppet is the selection today.
