Verdict
Teochew has her first start for Warren Greatrex having won a Cork maiden hurdle for Edmond Kent in April. She may be capable of better but looks too close in the weights to JEAN FLEMING, who did well in her first season over hurdles and definitely has scope for further improvement. The top weight is another who hasn't run since the spring but none of her rivals have had a recent run either and her class should shine through. Midnight Belle was well beaten off today's mark at Huntingdon on her final start last season while Just Spot looks very one-paced. The others have a bit to prove on these terms.
