      Verdict

      Calamintha won so impressively on her hurdling debut when defeating Flake she is taken to score again in what looks an easier affair. If anything were to happen to Calamintha Victory Sign may be the one to capitalize, the gelding has won up to 12 furlongs on the flat and if he jumped well he would be the main danger. Foxtrotromeoyankee jumped moderately and was pulled up on his debut so it is hard to oppose the penalised Calamintha to make it two from two over hurdles.
