Verdict
Merry Mistress beat Shirocco's Dream in a handicap hurdle at Wincanton a little under a year ago but the latter is now 8lb better off as both make their chasing debuts. Do You Think has experience on her side and is already a winner over the larger obstacles but, in a tricky opener, we’ll take a chance on MOONAMACAROONA, who was a maiden over timber but did finish second three times and might just enjoy this different challenge.
