Verdict
Surin won a bumper in France and scored three times over hurdles for Gordon Elliott including a Naas Grade 3. Her later form tailed off but she's been given time to recover and should make a bold bid for a winning start over fences despite a Flat-based pedigree. JEREMYS FLAME has a much more conventional pedigree for jumping and was placed in Listed and Grade 3 company over hurdles before chasing home Fiddlerontheroof in the Grade 1 Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown. She gets the vote though Misty Millie has a fitness advantage having won on the Flat in August and has three runs over fences to her credit. Reine Fee was beaten a nose over hurdles here in heavy conditions but smart hurdler Heaven Help Us looks much more of a threat though she'll need to brush up her jumping after making mistakes on her chasing bow at Sligo.
