Verdict
NINA THE TERRIER (NAP) defied a penalty when scoring with plenty left in the tank at Chepstow on last month’s reappearance. She looks capable of going in again on that evidence despite conceding weight to Elle Est Belle. The latter had decent form in bumpers last season including a third in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and makes her hurdling bow. Ahorsewithnoname has placed in a Listed hurdle here but raced just the once last year while Karlie is a maiden hurdle winner and Becky The Boo placed in a bumper last month.
