The market will probably tell us what to expect from Nicky Henderson’s two hurdling newcomers - Kupatana and Loveherandleaveher – who both won point-to-points last year with any amount in hand but the two at the top of the weights set a decent standard. All Currencies has contested Listed events in her last two starts but LADY OF LAMANVER looked much improved when making a winning reappearance at Fontwell and could have the scope to defy her penalty. Sensulano ran well at Warwick last month and Petronella Manners should make a hurdler in time. Big things were expected of Just A Thought this season but she’s not been getting any closer, despite only finding one too good in her three starts over timber.
