Verdict

A C&D race 18 days ago looks the key piece of form here. SO THEY SAY was behind Deep Charm and Coolkill on that occasion but Lucinda Russell's 8-y-o impressed with the way she travelled and jumped for a long way on that occasion and might be able to turn the tables on her old rivals on slightly better terms this time, particularly if Patrick Wadge's 3 lb claim here is taken into account.
