After a promising start on her first two bumper runs for Harry Fry, Water Willow appears to have rather lost the plot and was beaten at a very early stage at Newton Abbot last month. It will be interesting to see how she goes in the market but a watching brief is the advice at present. Juwireya has come up against a couple of decent sorts the last twice but has not looked like winning on either occasion. She may find one or two too good again despite her leading connections with LETS HOPE SO (NAP) taken to deliver the goods. A little disappointing last time, she nevertheless filled the minor placing but is better judged on two previous efforts which suggested she has a race of this nature well within her compass. Precision Five has performed with credit on the Flat in 2016 and Alan King's mare may well emerge as the main threat to the selection after displaying some hurdling promise on her debut over timber last season.
