Verdict

BABY KATE failed to deliver when a strong favourite for a Grade 2 bumper in the spring but she looked good prior to that and she couldn't be in better hands now hurdling. She's awarded the vote but a case can definitely be made for Qualimita, Amboyna and Karoline Banbou (a stablemate of the selection).

  1. BABY KATE (IRE)
