Verdict
PRINCESS MONONOKE won as she liked in a novice hurdle at Hexham last month and Donald McCain’s mare is worth sticking with now handicapping for the first time. Catchthemoonlight was placed at Musselburgh recently but Roja Dove was third in a higher grade than this at Perth in September and can race off a similar mark. Toola Boola disappointed last time after finishing second at Newcastle earlier while Your Turn found The Nipper too good in a match at Haydock in novice company.
