Cardy was a decisive winner over 2m here last month but will have stamina to prove over this trip and would have preferred some give in the ground. A drop of rain would also have not come amiss for the Princess Royal’s Chequered View while Shine Baby Shine seems happier on the Flat. Superefficient is now 0-16 and wind surgery didn’t appear to have the desired effect when she was a beaten favourite at Stratford. PROPHETS PRAYER was badly hampered and pulled up last time at Newton Abbot but Emma Lavelle’s mare stays well and looks ready for a first victory over hurdles having being a progressive sort in bumpers last autumn.
