Verdict

What's The Scoop broke his duck when taking full advantage of an under-performing Dunly over C&D 25 days ago, and Sue Smith's veteran clearly merits respect. Meanwhile, Rose Dobbin's Some Reign is blessed with plenty of natural ability but also his fair share of quirks (often reluctant to race). For the future the most interesting horse in the line-up is the sizeable, scopey grey On A Promise who looked every inch a future chaser when winning at Hexham in late 2017. However, the snag is that he has been sidelined with a tendon injury. Therefore, for small stakes from her last winning mark (hurdles) the Michael Scudamore-trained mare THE CRAZED MOON gets the nod.
