Useful novice; found plenty for 2m3f win last month; first-time cheekpieces
1	Jackpot D'Athou Chestnut J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	J:Harry Cobden T:Paul Nicholls	163	—	232-14	-	121	101	64d	—	—	-29	14.2	0.30/1	6/5 45%
Looked promising when winning hurdle debut (2m, heavy); disappointing next time

Has ability but neither of her two hurdle runs suggest she can be a player for the win

80-1 for her belated bumper debut at Wincanton and she ran accordingly; now goes hurdling

Very minor promise in a bumper and over hurdles and will be eligible for handicaps soon.

Shown little in a bumper and 2 novice hurdles; yard has strong contender in Livin On Luco
