Verdict
TAGRITA, a Listed winner over hurdles, is likely to be a warm order making her debut over fences having already won a point-to-point but does have a couple of potentially-useful rivals. Yes I Did won three times over hurdles and had a pipe-opener here last month. She's also won between the flags so the switch to fences shouldn't be a problem. Kayfleur ran five times over the larger obstacles last season and was placed in all but the last of them, a Listed handicap at Cheltenham. Her yard is going well and connections will try and make the most of her experience.
