After winning a bumper at Wetherby on her debut under Rules, MILANS EDGE was a little out of her depth in a Grade 2 at Aintree last time but she’ll take all the beating on her hurdling debut if she gets round safely. Gentle Jolie placed in a maiden point in November and should make her presence felt and Lincoln Lyn wasn’t entirely disgraced when fourth at Plumpton so looks best of the rest.
