      Verdict

      A blunder at the last when in the lead may have cost BETTY BALOO the race at Hexham on her hurdling debut. The dual bumper winner steps up in trip and for this and should go close. Fiadh has every chance despite finding the odds-on favourite too good when second at Ayr while Tigerpomp was challenging for the lead when falling at the last at Sedgefield on her hurdling bow and is not out of this either. Letthetruthbeknown is a bumper winner hurdling for the first time and looks best of the rest.
