Verdict
Peerless Beauty makes her hurdling debut having proved hard to place in bumpers. She turned in a shocker last time at Ludlow and is best watched. Plenty Of Time looks progressive and gets 12lb, including jockey allowances, from LADY ADARE but Harry Fry’s mare can extend her unbeaten record with the ground in her favour again. She clearly has an engine and the step up in trip may improve her jumping and help her to settle better.
