Verdict
A winner over a mile on the Flat as a two-year-old and successful three times since, CASHMERE CAT looks out of place in a seller but Christian von der Recke is obviously keen to find a race for her over hurdles. She has jumping ability and fitness to prove but could be a cut above these. Only two have an official rating and Italian Symphony is the pick of those, though she's het to reach the frame. Maxford Lady has won a point-to-point but has yet to show much under Rules.
