        Verdict

        Henrietta should have little difficulty in making a winning debut against moderate opposition, the best of whom is likely to be Just Kate. Henrietta has a decent jumping pedigree and has been bought by Brian Kilpatrick, so will be expected to pay her way sooner rather than later. She has been found a soft opportunity, and with Tony McCoy in the plate, it will be disappointing if she does not oblige before going on to better things. Just Kate was a promising third on her Worcester bumper debut, but is nothing special, while best of the rest may be Farne Isle who has the experience, and who, if allowed to bowl along in the lead, may make her presence felt. However, Henrietta would not have to be a world-beater to pop in at the first time of asking and she gets a solid vote.
