Verdict

STILL BELIEVING was pulled up in a competitive handicap chase here last time out but had been running well prior to that including when runner-up in a four runner hurdle on her penultimate outing. Evan Williams can boast a 20% strike-rate (3/15) recently and the selection can enhance that with a victory here. MIss Serious is well handicapped on her old form and can claim second here having finished sixth on her first hurdles start in over a year earlier this month. Buckle Street, beaten a neck last time and unexposed in handicap company finish third in this event.
