Forecasts

Nell's Bells (5/4), Oakley Dancer (9/2), Miss Get The Veuve (7/1), Pure Theatre (15/2), Internet Biddy (15/2), Harthill (10/1), Tuscan Rose (18/1), Somerway (50/1), Sally's Girl (80/1)

Verdict

NELL'S BELLS was a touch underwhelming at Sedgefield last time, but she was found to have nasal discharge post-race, so is much better judged on her Wetherby form as a result and can be given another chance. Internet Biddy is an interesting rival having shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on her hurdling debut at Lingfield, while Pure Theatre's pedigree suggests she's not one to give up on now switching to this discipline.
