Ms Parfois probably ran better than expected in a Listed race at Haydock last time and should be suited by this step up in trip. She looks a sure-fire future winner but this looks a competitive affair with Market Rasen winner Wizard's Sliabh likely to go well again having just lost out to Tara View in a driving finish at Ludlow last month. Al Reesha made a winning start over hurdles at Fakenham in October and River Arrow and Indian Native have shown some ability. ROSIE MCQUEEN was an impressive eight-length winner of a mares’ maiden point at Boulta in November and then changed hands for £95,000. She is a nice prospect and could be good enough to make a winning debut under Rules.
