Verdict

ARIAN has thrived upon joining Philip Hobbs this winter, successful at Newton Abbot prior to winning with more to spare than the margins suggest at Warwick last month. She gets the nod to complete the hat-trick in an admittedly competitive mares' event. Black Tulip looked as good as ever under an attacking ride latest and is feared, along with Agent Valdez and Stop Talking.

  1. ARIAN (IRE)
  2. BLACK TULIP
  3. AGENT VALDEZ
