Several have decent form in bumpers having contested Listed races without success and make their hurdling debuts. Billams Legacy hasn’t raced since March but Fire Lake finished in front of Finest View at Cheltenham in November and Precious, who represents last year’s winning yard, has a recent outing at Huntingdon under her belt. PETTICOAT LUCY has the advantage of having raced over hurdles at Exeter on her reappearance and ran well for third. She’ll know more today and Jeremy Scott’s mare gets the vote in the opener.
