Rainyday Woman, a Listed bumper winner, was surprisingly beaten at Ludlow on her hurdling debut and needs to take a big step forward. Nina The Terrier beat Ahorsewithnoname and ELLE EST BELLE when completing her hat-trick here at the start of the month. She is actually better off at the weights with that pair but the placed horses, particularly the latter, will have come on a bundle for the experience and it would be no surprise if at least one of them turned the tables. Theatre Glory was a ready winner at Huntingdon and should hold her own at this level granted normal improvement.
