Fourth here in July, Presenting Nelly has hinted at ability in a couple of hurdles runs so far. Come On Du Berlais has had wind surgery since third over 2m here early last month but it’s interesting that Danny Mullins has travelled over from Ireland to partner the Mags Mullins-owned MARVEL STAR (NAP), who is having a first run for Alastair Ralph. She was third at Sligo last month on her hurdling debut. Fountainspinklady may have been a beaten favourite over course and distance on her hurdling debut but she is surely capable of better.
