Verdict
Supreme Serenade gets the call ahead of Perle de Puce and Latin Queen. Supreme Serenade was a high-class hurdler and was only just denied at Wincanton last time, having looked all over the winner until the run-in. She can make amends today. Latin Queen's best hurdling form rates at around 112 so she is respected, while Perle de Puce, a Grade 2 novice hurdle winner in 2003, unseated rider early last time on her return from an absence but she too has to be given a good shout. The others need to improve which, in turn, returns us to the selection,. which is Supreme Serenade.
