Verdict
No shortage on interest in this, despite the small field. Spy In The Sky wasn’t entirely disgraced at Leicester, despite only beating one home. Rosie Mcqueen won a Boulta point-to-pint in November by eight lengths and has joined a strong stable. Pampanini was only headed inside the final furlong in a Lingfield bumper in November but LITTLE MISS POET (NAP) looks the one to be on as she just lost out in a titanic battle with the more-experienced My Khaleesi at Fontwell on her hurdling debut and the pair pulled well clear of the others, including a subsequent winner.
