MADAME LA PAPILLON (3) produced a solid effort last time when beaten just 2.5L attempting a maiden hurdle over 3400m at Newcastle. Sets a strong standard. QUEENIE ST CLAIR (1) opened with a win hurdling over 3000m at Wincanton before following up with a minor placing just four days ago in a 3300m hurdle at Taunton. Thereabouts once more. I HEARD A RUMOUR (2) is an unraced mare by Getaway out of Illwalktheline. Makes appeal on breeding and is among the leading chances. MIDNIGHT VENTURE (4) was a promising debutante two years ago in a jumpers flat at Chepstow when 3.5L second. Makes hurdle debut. Respect.
