BON CHIC won a bumper at Punchestown in October for James Barcoe after several near-misses. Now with Dan Skelton, she will probably start a hot favourite on her hurdling debut and should take all the beating. Perfect Timing was pulled up on her racecourse debut at Uttoxeter in a race in which the exposed Haatefina finished fifth. But her stable is in much better form now and better is expected. She has more scope than the likes of Inca Dove and Katarrhini.
