Verdict

LADY BALKO has upped her game since sent handicapping and, with further progress possible at this trip, she gets the nod to open her account under Rules. Emma Hamilton has finished well held on all her 3 outings over hurdles but could prove a different proposition on handicap debut based on her bumper exploits. Veteran Just Go For It is likely to give another good account and may prove best of the rest.

  1. LADY BALKO (FR)
  2. EMMA HAMILTON (IRE)
  3. JUST GO FOR IT
