Not the strongest of mares' maiden hurdles. Jazz Thyme ran well after a break last time and normal improvement should see her get involved, while Tara's Rainbow could make her presence felt if reproducing her running of a couple of starts ago. Astrosecret and Jonjoela are worth considering on their hurdling debuts, but PAT'S PEARL has been running with credit at a fair level over timber and has plenty going for her. The fitting of cheekpieces could be the final piece in the jigsaw.
