      Verdict

      FAIRYTALE THEATRE didn't find a great deal off the bridle on her hurdling debut at Wincanton but will have learned from the experience and doesn't have much to beat in this. Winning pointer Shanendou was well beaten when odds-on for a maiden bumper at Newcastle last month and has a bit to prove now while Money Maid, another who has been successful between the flags, only beat one home on her debut under Rules at Catterick. Young Cheddar, placed in a point-to-point last month, has had two runs under Rules and been tailed off in both.
