Verdict
An interesting mares' maiden with COLIN'S SISTER (NAP) taken to defy hurdling inexperience and score on her debut over timber. She's yet to oblige in five bumper starts but has been highly tried in Listed company on her last three outings and ran a tremendous race last time when only beaten half a length in a hot Sandown Listed contest by The Nipper with some very useful sorts behind. She'll be good enough if repeating that level over obstacles. Goldray is lightly-raced for a ten-year-old and should be on the premises on the back of two competitive efforts of late after clearly not taking to being sent over fences. Kitty Caul is also respected for her consistency with both Lillian and Peal Of Bells expected to improve on runs to date.
