Verdict
PRETTYLITTLETHING overcame jumping problems to win easily over fences at Huntingdon last week and connections have brought her back to hurdling. She improved since her three earlier moderate efforts and this looks her for the taking. Clara Peggotty has been placed in six of her 13 starts over hurdles but is inconsistent and is just as likely to fail to complete the course. It was very heavy going when Snippetydoodah won at Fontwell though she hasn't performed badly on good going subsequently and looks a threat. Frank N Fair completed a double in the spring and made a pleasing return over fences at Fontwell a couple of weeks ago so she's another with chances but Solstice Dawn hasn't won a race in 20 starts.
