Verdict

HOW’S BUSINESS won twice over hurdles in the spring of 2009 including a Listed contest at Cheltenham. She’s had injury problems but reappeared after a long break to gain facile victories over fences at Wincanton and Ffos Las, on both occasions only having two opponents to beat. She has an extra rival here but a hat-trick looks a formality. Hughie Morrison has a rare runner over fences in Cecily Parsley but she’s been well beaten in all starts to date and She’s Jolly was beaten 34l when last of three here last month. Strawberry Villa, who makes up the quartet, has failed to complete the course in two point-to-points.
