Verdict

SHE IS FOR ME BOYS beat a fairly useful sort to win on chase debut and has undergone a breathing operation following a weak finish at Cheltenham last time. She sets the form standard and can resume winning ways if handling softer conditions than previously faced. Celestial Fashion shaped as if still in good form when fading late over 3m at Ayr, she's a danger back down in distance, while Taxus Baccata has joined a capable yard and is worth noting for support.

Impressive winning start over fences at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) in November (third a next-time-out winner) but folded in better race at Cheltenham latest.
