Verdict
Haul Us In completed a hat-trick over hurdles on heavy ground last spring and scored over fences in similar conditions at Uttoxeter in January. She didn't show her form at Carlisle last time. SHE'SASUPERMACK, a very consistent performer over hurdles, jumped well on her chasing bow at Musselburgh and can only improve so gets the nod in a tight little handicap. Molly Carew is back on the same mark as her last victory at Ffos Las a year ago and has won on heavy going. Irish raider Hidden Dilemma was making her handicap debut over fences when runner-up to Skewiff in one of these races at Carlisle so has to be respected.
