Runner-up on hurdles bow in France, FUTURE BUCKS makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and she’s taken to make a winning start for Jamie Snowden.The market should offer plenty of clues regarding the hurdle newcomers, Chatty Girl perhaps most interesting if recapturing her debut form, while Lady Kara finished second on her first run over hurdles and should be seen to better effect back over 2m.
