In depth
Verdict
On Se Calme has won a point but she needs to improve on her form so far under Rules. Chantilly Rose has been well beaten in her two hurdle starts but bumper winner TIQUE was close up when falling three out at Newton Abbot so is probably worth another chance. Second in a bumper here in February, Sister Julienne may be best of the rest unless former pointer Sammy's Guarantee shows an immediate aptitude for hurdling.
