Verdict

BECKY THE THATCHER didn't have a lot to spare here last time over a similar trip when holding off Graceful Lady. The terms have worsened for the selection but she's progressing in this sphere and her hurdles rating suggests she has scope to climb higher still. The runner-up is very capable of turning the tables on revised terms while Wind Place And Sho (fourth) doesn't have much to find. 2014 Chester Cup hero (no win since) Suegioo ran a stormer back on the Roodee last time and will go close with a repeat.
