JUST A HEARTBEAT gets the vote on the back of her encouraging hurdle debut second at Fontwell in the spring. Dual bumper winner Celestron Star is surely much better than she showed on her Market Rasen hurdle debut and can bounce back and provide the chief threat. Never Told Me is also respected for Fergal O'Brien, with point/bumper winner Richieandsams Lady completing the shortlist.

  1. JUST A HEARTBEAT
  2. CELESTRON STAR
  3. NEVER TOLD ME
