Verdict
SKIN DEEP, a progressive sort in bumpers, had no luck on her hurdling debut at Bangor as she was hampered at an early stage and her saddle slipped. She has a nice jumping pedigree and can make amends here despite the claims of dual bumper winner Andapa. Celtic Sally was second on her hurdles bow at Uttoxeter and can probably improve on that form but Lucca Lady turned in a shocker at Cartmel after finishing in the frame in her first four starts over timber, though a drop in distance probably didn’t aid her cause. Ortenzia started off in promising fashion here a year ago but failed to build on that initial effort.
