Verdict
A couple of these won maiden hurdles last time. But GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY won eased down to land the odds at Chepstow and that looks stronger form than Double Click’s success at Wincanton. Karannelle ended last summer with placed efforts at Newton Abbot while Imperial Measure found one too good over track and trip more recently and Half The Freedom ran well at Uttoxeter.
