In depth
Verdict
LILLY PEDLAR's placed effort in a Grade 2 handicap at Newbury in March would be much too good for these and she found fast ground against her at Sandown last month. Dancing Dani easily won a point at Moig South before a very encouraging debut over timber at Newton Abbot where she led for a long way over that 2m5f trip. Gerboise Borget took a crashing fall on her hurdling bow at Southwell in August and hasn't been seen since while Chantilly Haze, runner-up in a Chepstow bumper in March, was beaten a long way on her hurdling debut at Warwick.
