Verdict

Plenty of these are trying their hands at this trip for the first time and on the back of wind surgery and the race has a difficult feel about it. Drinks Interval along with a few others looks on a stiff mark here and MOLLY CHILDERS from a yard that do well with this type looks the one to side with having shaped better than her final position last time and looking unexposed as a stayer. Kentford Heiress would have a chance to pick up on her good form of last year if she’s fit and ready while Grace Tara looks of interest returning to hurdles having run well the last twice over fences. Of those at the foot of the handicapper Versifier catches the eye the most.
  1. Molly Childers
  2. Grace Tara
  3. Kentford Heiress
