MISS KASSIOPI (2) was unplaced two runs ago in a hurdle (3910m) at Lingfield. Did a better job last time when she finished second in a hurdle (3750m) at Stratford-On-Avon. Major player again. LEAVE HER TO ME (3) took a tumble in a hurdle (3900m) at Huntingdon two starts back. Bounced back last time to greet the judge by a neck in a hurdle (3900m) at Hereford. Will thereabouts once more. GRANNY HAWKINS (6) started at big odds but returned from a spell on April 14 with a sound second in a hurdle (3800m) at this track, beaten half a length. Expecting further improvement. FAERIE CUTLASS (4) was returning from a layoff last start when she was eased out of the race in a hurdle (4900m) at Southwell. That run was the first for the Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls yard. Honest jumper with two wins and seven minor placings from 17 starts over the obstacles. Capable of much more this time.
