Verdict

LUCKY PHIL has been running well in defeat over hurdles (and last time out over fences) since mid-summer and although still a maiden looks to have an excellent chance of landing this contest, not blessed with in-form or well-handicapped rivals. Rebel Early put some underwhelming jump form behind her when winning in a battling way at Clonmel last time out. A repeat of that effort on her handicap debut should see her go close. Another mare, Alice Johnston showed signs last time out that she is going in the right direction and has a fair chance if running up to her best.
  1. Lucky Phil
  2. Rebel Early
  3. Alice Johnston
