Verdict

An eight-times winner on the Flat, Precision Five ran her best race so far over hurdles when second last time at Worcester and should make a bold bid to go one better. She's preferred to Angel Face, who has been placed in five of her six hurdles starts, and Toboggan's Gift, fourth on the Flat since finishing second at Cartmel. But EN JOULE galloped on strongly to win a mares' bumper at Stratford earlier this month. She's got a nice pedigree and it is significant that Neil Mulholland has wasted no time putting her over hurdles.
