Verdict
MAY HAY scored on the Flat at Southwell last time and won over hurdles at the same track before that. She looks up to defying a penalty in this company ahead of Kashstaree, who made a winning start over timber with a victory at Musselburgh recently and should go well. Newcastle winner Bobs Lady Tamure found a penalty beyond her last time while it's difficult to get a handle on Caraline's form as she won a chase in France last month and has her first start for new connections here.
