KENTFORD GREY LADY won a Taunton bumper on her racecourse debut in February and was far from disgraced when tackling Listed company on her only subsequent start at Sandown the following month. Emma Lavelle's mare can make a successful transition to hurdles though Combustible Lady is improving with experience over timber and appears to have the beating of subsequent Wetherby flop Pampelonne on Newton Abbot running. Cocoa Minnie and Final Cast have a bit of scope but are probably best watched here.
