Verdict
BE THAT AS IT MAY is a full sister to former stable companion Darlan, who won the Christmas Hurdle in 2012 and was successful by 27 lengths in a bumper on his racecourse debut. She cost 78,000 euros and could be a shoe-in in a race like this if she’s inherited a fraction of her sibling’s ability. Step You Gaily is another interesting newcomer and Lady Of The Night and Midnightreferendum showed a similar level of form in placed efforts at Ludlow and Towcester respectively.
