Verdict
Karannelle is only 1-18 but finished second twice here last year and again at Hereford last month. Triple Nickle could figure if on a going day while Sweet Nightingale was keeping on when third over 2m at Taunton. BLUE BIKINI has had just the three runs over hurdles so far and won at Plumpton in the autumn. She ran well for a long way in a Listed race at Taunton when last seen and this is a big drop in class.
