Verdict
Police Academy placed at Leicester on her hurdling debut but faded badly after a mistake at Huntingdon last time and HELENN CLERMONT is preferred. The latter made a belated debut under Rules with a third at Ffos Las last month and today’s tongue-tie may bring further progress. Moviddy ran well for a long way at Exeter on her hurdling debut while Finescope may prove best of the rest.
