Grace Tara was beaten in a handicap before winning a novice hurdle at Kelso in April and Sister Sibyl is another novice hurdle winner. The latter struggled in a Grade 2 hurdle at Newbury when last in action but still finished ahead of Same Circus and Hughie Morrison’s mare could figure on her chasing bow. Miss Mash is another to note on her chasing debut but INDIAN NATIVE makes most appeal with the experience of a recent fourth over fences
