Verdict
Irish raider She's My Girl had plenty of chances before finally opening her account and, while she has to be respected, the mare faces no easy task conceding so much weight and preference is for Marsh Run who gets the vote over Prairie Moonlight. The last mentioned was a maiden on the flat in her native Germany but this may not take a great deal of winning and she has to be respected representing the stable of Charlie Mann. Richard Fahey's Chevin makes limited appeal on her belated hurdling debut and of more interest may be Agnese. George Moore's filly won a maiden bumper at Wetherby on her most recent start and has to be respected first time out over hurdles but preference is for Marsh Run. Mick Easterby's mare showed progressive form in National Hunt flat races last term winning three times, latterly when landing a Listed Race at Sandown. She should be too classy for her rivals today and may be able to overcome her hurdling inexperience.
