TIMEFORM VIEW Well held in bumper/ﬁrst 3 starts in maiden hurdles but proved a totally different proposition when successful at 80/1 in a course maiden (20f) 3 weeks ago, overcoming a pace bias in the process. Needs to prove that no ﬂuke now handicapping. TFRHHHII BHA104

A competitive-looking race of its type with the narrow vote in favour of RAE DES CHAMPS. A low-mileage mare, she was quickly back on track when ﬁnishing runner-up at Kelso last month, and with this greater test of stamina expected to suit, she could be the answer with her rider taking off a valuable 7lb Fly By Milan may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Irish-raider Jumping Jet.
