Pressure Drop is due to be a first runner on the Flat for rookie trainer Jo Hughes but it's difficult what to make of her debut win for Pat Murphy at Warwick and she may struggle against BETTY FONTAINE on these terms. Mick Channon's filly hasn't done a lot wrong so far and found the drop to 5f no problem at Bath 15 days ago, where she came with a wet sail to get the better of Cape Moss and The Dancing Lord. She beat Toffee Tart more easily on her debut than Guru Girl had earlier, though the latter has the beating of Brighton winner My Lucky Liz on the form book. The others are likely to find this company too hot.
