Verdict
DESARAY GIRL had been chasing before reverting to hurdles and landing a heavy-ground conditionals' handicap at Ayr last week. She has no penalty, is on a 4lb lower mark and her rider can claim 1lb more so a quick double looks on the cards. Lady Tremaine won a Bangor handicap in December then comfortably landed a Carlisle novices' event a couple of weeks ago so she looks a real threat. Dazzling Glory won two bumpers and a Sedgefield novices' hurdle last year but was beaten a distance when reappearing in a Grade 2 at Doncaster last month. Megan has just one victory over timber to her credit but she's been racing in better company and is another to consider.
