Dame du Soir came good over hurdles with a victory at Leicester last month. That was on good going but she won bumpers in France in testing ground and is preferred to recent course and distance winner Millarville. But bumper winner BULLFROG (NAP) returned to action with a decent third at Sandown on her hurdling debut and Gary Moore’s mare gets the vote to take advantage of the weight concession and come out best. Deja Vue and The Cull Bank won point-to-points last year and both debut under Rules today while Regarding Ruth ran well at Fakenham on her first start over timber.
