Verdict

A fantastic renewal of this 'Listed' contest with the hat-trick seeking Deja Vue one of the leading contenders after recording a pair of wide-margin victories the last twice. Paul Nicholls' runners must always be respected at this venue, and Silver Forever was always in for a hard task when conceding 3lb to Floressa last time out, though she still ran well in third. Midnights' Gift is dangerous to dismiss receiving chunks of weight from all of her rivals. However, clear preference is for MARIE'S ROCK though who sprung a minor surprise when bounding clear of her rivals at Haydock. She can cope with the step up in grade and complete the hat-trick in the process.
  1. Marie's Rock
  2. Silver Forever
  3. Deja Vue
