Verdict

PRESENTING NELLY shaped well until her absence told when making her hurdles debut at Southwell late last month. She's fancied to add to her bumper success with improvement anticipated, though Sandalwood is a threat after good efforts in handicaps on his last 2 outings. Clapton Hill has struggled for consistency over hurdles but he also possesses the ability to get involved if putting his best foot forward.
