Formscan - Having finished a good third behind subsequent Mares' Novices' Hurdle winner You Wear It Well in a Grade 2 at Sandown on her penultimate start, DEEPLY SUPERFICIAL made no mistake when readily accounting for five rivals at Limerick last time out. Gordon Elliott's mare has looked well up to winning at this level and is fancied to make her mark. Nicky Henderson landed the corresponding event last year and must hold every chance with Queens Rock, who bolted up at Doncaster on her handicap debut. Stablemate Ahorsewithnoname is capable on her day, while Ilovethenightlife is also considered.
