Verdict
Rene's Girl did not jump well at Chepstow last month and a better round here could see her close the gap on winner HOLLIES PEARL on 7lb better terms. However, the top weight is from a stable going great guns at present and she looks a very nice prospect who should be capable of defying a penalty. Oliver Sherwood's string is starting to hit form so we're expecting a promising first run over hurdles from Coco Shambhala while Iconic Star is also the type to improve for the switch to hurdles.
