Verdict

MARIA'S BENEFIT has been in good form since switching to hurdles and Stuart Edmunds charge can register her second Grade 2 success in this competitive mares novices hurdle having also taken a Grade 2 event last time out. Likely favourite and fellow Graded winner Laurina has impressed in both starts in Ireland and she is taken to finish second ahead of Countister who represents leading connections and can get the better of Salsaretta in the battle for third.
