Flat White will have pleased connections with her hurdling debut at Uttoxeter and a fillies’ allowance will come in handy again. But FIRST IMPRESSION may not get a better chance to win a race over hurdles having been highly tried so far. Rated 85 on the Flat, John Quinn’s charge was only headed right on the line here on his jumping debut and made mistakes when fifth in a Listed race over track and trip subsequently. Yulong Magicreef didn’t win on the Flat in Ireland but showed ability, though doesn’t have a jumping pedigree. Walkonby is having a first start for a new stable and also facing hurdles for the first time but won four times on the level up to 1m2f and Warranty won over 2m at Beverley in July.
