Verdict

Chase-scorer BIRDSANDTHEBEES is able to run off a much lower mark in this sphere and having highlighted her well-being with a good second over larger obstacles here 33 days ago, she could well be the answer. Handicap-debutant Roc My Haarth and Gracon Doux head up the dangers ahead of Maciver.
