Pink Gin has won around here over hurdles and he came up against an improver at Wincanton earlier this month so shouldn’t be far away. Somewhere To Be made a winning start over fences at Lingfield. He’s up 8lb but already looks likely to make a better chaser than hurdler. It took KAYFLEUR 11 attempts to open her account over fences but she was impressive at Fakenham and effective over a variety of trips. Only raised a pound, the handicapper has taken a chance with Henry Daly’s mare. Sir Will was well behind Another Frontier over hurdles last season but is the type to make a much better chaser. Indian Native has hinted at ability over fences and won two points and a hurdle earlier in her career so can’t be ignored.
