Verdict

Mary Eleanor was placed twice at the start of the year but wasn't exactly progressive, though is still the pick of those with experience. Irish raider HECLA is a half-sister to a winning hurdler who was second on her racecourse debut in a bumper so she gets the nod ahead of fellow newcomer Kapga De Lily, who is likely to do better when she has a few obstacles to negotiate.
