Verdict
DUHALLOW GESTURE, a winner between the flags, won two bumpers including in Listed company and was placed in the Grade 2 mares' bumper at Aintree. She led for a long way in what looked a very strong event on her hurdling debut at Newbury and looks one to follow. She has the beating of Aimee De Sivola, who finished seven lengths behind her at Newbury, but Rosy World showed real battling qualities to land a Uttoxeter bumper and that will stand her in good stead for her hurdling career. We'llcwhathappens won a point in April and though making several mistakes on her hurdling bow at Plumpton was only beaten a couple of lengths.
