Verdict
Martha My Dear is a full sister to French hurdler/chaser It’s Jennifer and is definitely worth a market check making her racecourse debut. Bright Side Oflife has won a point-to-point and is the mount of Brian Hughes but SHANTEWE ran a fine race behind The Glancing Queen in a Grade 2 at Aintree last month and Page Fuller’s claim helps offset her penalty – she should take all the beating. Simonsfleur and Our Promise look the pick of the remainder.
