Toto Corde Meo won a Towcester bumper on her debut but weakened very quickly on her hurdling debut over 2m7f at Folkestone. Loch Dhu has presumably been waiting for good ground as she won twice over this trip in those conditions at Aintree early last summer. She's an obvious threat if fit enough but those who saw PRIMA PORTA make an impressive start for Evan Williams at Southwell won't want to miss the French Flat winner and she looks set to follow up. D'Gigi landed a maiden at Musselburgh in November and very nearly followed up a few weeks later where she just failed to overhaul Bonnie Baloo.
