Ivor's Queen only won one of her eight starts over hurdles but Sainte Ladylime won three times, though jumped poorly and was struggling when unseating her rider behind TAGRITA at Huntingdon. Paul Nicholls’ mare wasn’t foot-perfect herself but kept finding and was value for more than he winning margin. She can defy a penalty, though Tacenda is an interesting newcomer as she would almost certainly have won a maiden point at Inch in March had she not unseated her rider two out.
