      Verdict

      Debdebdeb was easily the best of these over hurdles and she’d take all the beating if translating that form to the larger obstacles. But she is Flat-bred so there is no guarantee that she’ll make a chaser. PRINCESS TARA won on her first start for Malcolm Jefferson over hurdles at Perth last year. Connections have had to be patient to get this daughter of Kayf Tara back on the track but she should soon start making up for lost time. Cruachan has only won once in 25 starts over hurdles and may find the mares too strong giving 7lb.
