Verdict

The vote goes to MEDIA NARANJA, who confirmed the promise of her hurdles debut fourth when going close in a big-field at Navan last time and she is open to further improvement. Heather Bear is 3-7 on the Flat and it'll be interesting to see how she gets on now tackling hurdles but Libby has already shown a fairly useful level of form in this sphere and she is the clear main danger.
