In depth
Verdict
MISS LAMB (NAP), placed in Listed and Grade 2 company in bumpers last season, can make a winning reappearance tackling hurdles for the first time. Prime Time Lady ran well for second at Bangor last month, despite running green, and newcomer Minelladestination is worth a market check as her dam was a useful hurdler who has already produced a winning bumper.
