Verdict

LADY WRITER has been in good form over further in recent starts and she can complete a hat-trick dropping in trip for this rated novice hurdle. The selection has to concede weight all round but can do so to get the better of Halsafari who can take second place ahead of Mandarin Monarch who ran well last time out when returning from a break.
