Verdict
Mistral Nell easily won a Fakenham bumper but failed to find the expected improvement on softer ground. Treefinch has only raced over 2m and has been placed a couple of times without looking like winning. Electoral Lady is bred to be a decent stayer and won't have any problems with the trip having finished runner-up between the flags in May last year though this should go to IORENS. Bought for £100,000 after landing a point at Rathcannon in April, she produced a cracking effort on her hurdling debut when making the long odds-on Springwell Bay pull out the stops at Carlisle.
