Verdict
Sainte Ladylime has been holding her own in decent company over hurdles recently but she’s had some hard races. She has won over fences but has also failed to complete three times in five attempts and PROGRESS DRIVE jumped really well when beating a previous winner with plenty in hand at Ayr last month.
