In depth

Verdict

Stephanie Sunshine was 0-9 over hurdles prior to yesterday’s scheduled run at Ffos Las but she has a chance if turning up. Influential Lady was placed in one of three bumper runs last year but hasn’t raced since August. LADY MARWAH (NAP) has been keeping better company since switching to hurdles and looks the one to be on here given Forget Me Knot has been disappointing and has had wind surgery since last seen.
