Verdict
Fist Pumping Time has yet to make the frame under Rules but may still be the one for forecast-backers behind likely odds-on favourite AAZZA, who won a much more competitive affair here on her hurdling debut. Cresswell Queen has had a year off and will need to show massive improvement on her return.
