Verdict

COTTON GRASS was just about the best of these on the Flat, winning a 1m3f handicap at Yarmouth in June. It's not always a good idea to translate form on the level to hurdles but Mark Tompkins' filly gets 6lb from previous winners Bernisdale and Hope Point and shouldn't be far away if her jumping holds up. The latter is probably the danger on her defeat of Galloping Queen at Huntingdon as So Is She was greatly flattered by her proximity to Alfraamsey at the same track last month.
