Verdict

EZMERELLDA looks on a fair mark switched to handicap company and can take advantage of her weight allowance to score for the second time over hurdles. Passing Kate has held her form well since joining Matt Sheppard and represents a strong-looking Leicester formline, so merits plenty of respect, with Konigin Isabella also respected after a year off.
