J: Benjamin Macey

Made the breakthrough when winning over hurdles here (2m6f, good) in May and it was an encouraging chase debut when she was beaten less than 2l by a couple of these over C&D last month; would need to prove she can handle soft ground should the heavens have opened, but otherwise of interest.
