Verdict
Hotter Than Hell looks to have future over hurdles on the evidence of her win at Worcester in May and may be a better long-term prospect than last month’s course winner Deputy's Oscar, who is also penalised. Velkera and Thoor Castle are both winning pointers but the former makes most appeal with the latter likely to need further and a softer surface. MISTY WHISKY was prominent for a long way in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April having won bumpers earlier at Ludlow and Sandown, the latter being a Listed race. She looks an exciting prospect for hurdling this winter.
