      Verdict

      POLLY PEACHUM had no chance when making a terrible hash of the final flight in this last year but she went on to be only beaten a head in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham and won on her final start last season at Sandown. In that kind of form, the Henderson mare would be tough to beat and she has won first time out in two of the last three seasons. Morello Royale has not fired in either start this autumn so Fairytale Theatre may be the one for forecast backers as she is weighted to reverse Sandown running last December with Kayfleur, though has not won for a while. Minnie Milan's best form has come on faster surfaces.
