Verdict
Work hasn’t shown much over hurdles so far but wasn’t beaten far on the Flat at Chepstow last time. Both of Pretty Rose’s victories so far have come on ground with some give and she was still beaten 17 lengths when second at Fakenham. Viking Mistress is 0-8 over hurdles but has still crept up the ratings while Pennies And Pounds seems to reserve her best for Bangor. MY COUSIN RACHEL weakened quickly behind Pretty Rose at Huntingdon in March but left that form well behind on better ground at Ffos Las and may be worth following now she’s got her head in front.
