Progressive three-time winner over hurdles who opened her account in this sphere with a game display in a big-field Cheltenham handicap in October. Given plenty of time to recover from an early fall at Taunton since, she warrants respect back over the smaller obstacles here.

Four-time winner for Dan Skelton who did all she could when third on stable debut at Newcastle in November and returned to form when fourth of 5 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (3¼m, good, 9/2) 19 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Not out of things.

Opened her account at the first time of asking over hurdles in novice at Uttoxeter (2½m) this time last year and largely run with credit since, latest when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (2½m, good to soft) 32 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Age: 5 Wgt: 11-2 OR: 105

Made a successful debut in bumper here a year ago and has found improvement over hurdles the last twice, including when third of 9 in novice at this course (2¼m, good) 10 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit and she looks a likely improver on handicap debut.

Analyst's Verdict

SHUTFRONTDOOR remains with potential and will likely benefit from this stiffer test of stamina on her handicap bow. She gets the nod. Recent C&D winner Miss Goldfire looks the obvious danger given her record here.

Betting Forecast : 5/23.5 Miss Goldfire, 3/14 Shutfrontdoor, 9/25.5 Fresh As A Daisy, 11/26.5 Smugglers Haven, 11/26.5 Queens Venture
