Verdict
The form of this mares’ Listed bumper is usually worth following and UCANAVER finished ahead of Allavina, who beat Martello Sky later, on debut with a subsequent hurdles winner in fourth. She had no trouble going one better at Fontwell last month and might be the one to beat. Jersey Lady beat Thursday’s Ludlow hurdles winner Shore Shanty when making a winning debut and Ishkhara Lady is now 2-2. Easy Kelso winner All Clenched Up and Aintree scorer Elle Est Belle also have bags of scope.
