Verdict
Midnight Callisto made a winning bumper debut at Fontwell a year ago then started favourite for a Cheltenham Listed race but disappointed. She was placed in a Listed bumper at Market Rasen in January and makes her hurdling debut. SPRING RUN's only Flat victory came on fast going but she handled good to soft well enough on her hurdles debut at Ffos Las and should make a better hurdler. Peace Prevails, five-times a winner on the Flat, showed the benefit of her opening run over timber when runner-up in a novices' event here. Jungle Prose landed a Warwick bumper in September and possibly found the going too quick at Exeter next time.
