Verdict

SHADOW'S GIRL is the only hurdle winner in the race and ran well last time out in third at Leicester so she gets the vote in this very ordinary contest. Unexposed Milldean Silva is the only other winner of a race albeit a weak bumper but her form in novice company offers plenty of promise and the booking of Dicky Johnson is a further positive. Tierra Verde was disappointing on reappearance but her form last season would give her a big chance.
  1. Shadow's Girl
