This could be an above-average maiden, despite the small field. PETTICOAT TAILS had very smart bumper form, winning twice and being placed in Grade 2 and Listed company. She’s a full sister to the useful staying hurdler Call To Order so the step up in trip and switch to jumping should suit. Midnight Tune is overdue a win over timber having finished second in her last three but she has already run six times, the last four in handicaps. Just A Thought was behind the selection in a bumper in March and has been a bit disappointing in her two runs to date over hurdles.
