Verdict

DRAGON BONES was good value for making a winning hurdling debut in a listed event at Doncaster 25 days ago and, with her bumper debut win reading well, she looks up to defying a penalty. Tequila Blaze quickly got her career back on track with a good second at Newbury in January, while Padstow Harbour also requires a look having shown plenty in a brace of bumpers last term.
