Verdict
SHE’S A SAINT made a winning debut for Dan Skelton when easily landing a novice hurdle at Hexham last month. She faces stiffer competition today but looks worth sticking with. Sharp Note also made a winning debut over timber when successful at Hereford on her reappearance while Carole's Pass won a hurdle race in France back in May when based at Amy Murphy’s satellite yard. Mrs Grimley is a bumper winner related to a winning hurdler and is preferred to Sweet Magic.
