Verdict

CAJUN FIDDLE can follow up her Southwell novice hurdle success in November by taking this mares event for her leading trainer. The mare was beaten just a head last time out by a previous winner and she can get the better of Verdana Blue who comes in on the back of a win at Hereford last month and Midnight Glory who caused something of an upset when winning at Newbury in January and is another who can boast top connections. 1. Cajun Fiddle 2. Verdana Blue 3. Midnight Glory
