Verdict
The progressive LADY ADARE won a bumper on the Turf here before scoring at Uttoxeter on her hurdling debut and first start for Harry Fry. She beat a subsequent winner on the latter occasion and can defy a penalty. Dual bumper winner Martha Willow finished a decent third at Catterick on her hurdling bow and is preferred to Rae Des Champs while Poetria finished third in juvenile company at Wetherby last month and takes on older horses today.
