Verdict
Royal Athena won a Fakenham maiden on her second start over timber and, though she's the only three-year-old in the line-up, her allowance will aid her cause. Jeune Belle landed a Huntingdon bumper before runner-up in a Cheltenham Listed bumper so has to be of interest on her hurdling bow. MADAM RYDER also has her first start over timber having chased home a smart-looking prospect in a bumper at Bangor and normal progress can see her off the mark. Bleue Verte and Villainess are others with chances.
