Ishusharella was tailed off when Presenting Lass made a winning start under Rules in a bumper at Towcester last month. She looks a nice hurdling prospect but might be suited by a more searching test than she'll get today. Miss Estela was beaten less than a length by favourite Queen Of The Stage on her hurdling debut at Exeter and should be winning soon but HEL TARA (NAP) should have learned plenty from her run behind Millicent Silver at Lingfield. The better ground today is in the latter's favour so she gets the nod with Glenarm and Briery Bubbles also open to improvement. Blameitalonmyroots has plenty to find with the selection on collateral form.
