Who What When remains a performer of some interest and could well improve on her Newbury hurdling debut. She does receive 6lb from the penalised trio but Dan Skelton enjoys an excellent record at this track and EMMAS JOY can add to the tally. She was only beaten half a length by Cill Anna at Warwick last time to whom she conceded 7lb with the rest well accounted for and the form received a major boost this week when Cill Anna destroyed her field at Wincanton. Full Of Surprises looks a threat after scoring stylishly on debut at Catterick and Easter Gold should be competitive too as she's proving steadily progressive and won very cosily last time.
