Verdict

If OUR RACHAEL can transfer her improved Flat form back over hurdles then she'll hold an excellent chance here. Her form over hurdles, as it stands, would give her a chance but there's every chance she'll improve on it today and she can make a mockery of this mark. Call His Bluff is another that looks on the upgrade and can prove the main danger. Successor needs to prove himself on the ground but has chances if he can, and along with Abbazagga and Storm Racer, warrant a second look.
