Verdict
A market check is advised on newcomers My Khaleesi and Al Reesha while Secret Door was second in a point-to-point at Lemonfield in March where she was still in front at the last. Neither Milan Hart nor Bitter Virtue were disgraced first time up but ZARA HOPE is taken to build on the promise of her debut fourth behind a subsequent hurdles winner at Worcester, where she wasn't unduly punished once the leaders had flown.
