Verdict

Things haven't gone to plan thus far for classy bumper performer PEGGIES VENTURE over hurdles but there was promise in her reappearance at Worcester last month and she could well prove to be entering handicaps at just the right time. She gets the nod here over top-weight Midtech Valentine who had some standout form in 2016 and at the other end of the weight scale Midnight Gypsy who won over course and distance latest.
  1. Peggies Venture
