Verdict
It’s a big day for the Jefferson stable and MEGA YEATS can set the ball rolling and make a winning start over hurdles. She found only one to good in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham when chasing a hat-trick in that sphere and has a jumping pedigree. Storm Goddess didn’t fare badly when third in a Ludlow maiden and she’s getting 6lb from Lingfield winner Coded Message, though the latter will enjoy this longer trip. Madam Cloud won a point-to-point in May but has yet to show much under Rules.
