A mares only novices' hurdle that did not take a lot of winning. TAMBOURINE RIDGE had reportedly burst a blood vessel when last seen back in December but showed no ill effects here. She went about her business pretty well when the question was popped.

A half-sister to a winning chaser, obviously fences will be her longer term objective, but there could be another race in her in this division which is never really that strong.

Aya had won a bumper and did not do too badly on her hurdles debut. She won on fast ground and that may be the secret to her.

Cove Mountain was nothing out of the very ordinary on the Flat. This run qualified her for a mark over hurdles, but unless faster ground later this spring brings about plenty of improvement she is going to struggle.

Pretty Neat, making her hurdles debut and having her first run since last September, dropped away very tamely before being disappointingly pulled up. Her previous outing was on firmish ground and perhaps that sort of surface may help her.
