Dazzling Sarah had a couple of poor runs over hurdles before landing a Down Royal bumper in March while COURT ARTIST won a Kilbeggan bumper then disappointed on her hurdling debut at Down Royal where she made too many mistakes. Her jumping will have been ironed out and she can see off Now Let Go. Stuart Crawford's mare, a dual bumper winner, also made errors when making her hurdling bow here last month but she'll improve for the experience and should prove a threat. She had Kitty B a long way back in third that day and though Euro So Brave has been placed in a couple of handicaps she appears to do better on quicker ground.
