Point-to-point and bumper winner FOUNTAINSPINKLADY is a sister to a couple of winning hurdlers and gets the vote to make a winning debut over timber. Sunday Soldier has failed to match her bumper form in a couple of starts over hurdles and the same comment applies to Princess Priya but Jolie Baie ran well from out of the weights in a handicap hurdle here and looks a threat.
