Formscan  - Listentoyourheart extended her unbeaten run over hurdles to 3-3 with a hard-fought success in a Listed event at Newbury in November. However, she picks up a 5lb penalty and might struggle to uphold the form with the third home, JUBILEE ALPHA, who is having only her second start in this discipline and should be a whole lot wiser now she has hurdles experience to draw upon. The winner of two bumpers and a couple of hurdle races, Hollygrove Cha Cha also appeals despite this being her toughest assignment yet.
