Forecasts

Spellbound (9/4), Sparkling River (11/4), Listen To The Man (3/1), Kentford Heiress (7/1), Llantara (8/1), One Big Love (9/1), Lady Beaufort (12/1), Pulling Power (14/1)

Verdict

Having the stamina for the trip will be the key to this and, with a few of these uncertain to truly appreciate the distance, a chance is taken on LISTEN TO THE MAN taking this latest challenge in her stride. The Dan Skelton-trained mare has made good progress from winning at Bumper at Wetherby through to getting off the mark over hurdles last time out. She is open to further improvement and may have too much in the locker for the likes of: Llantara and Lady Beaufort on this occasion. A market move for One Big Love would also be noteworthy.
