Verdict

BABY KATE is tried in first-time cheekpieces, which might do the trick. A dual bumper winner, including once at Listed level at Cheltenham in November 2023, the seven-year-old has failed to match that level of ability over hurdles, but she is a useful performer who is suited by the distance and contests a winnable race. Blue Waters is rated just 3lb inferior but while she too is a bumper and maiden hurdle winner, she lacks a little of the selection's ability and would prefer better ground. Eye Of A Tiger can get the better of Miss Corby for third place.
