Verdict

There was plenty to like about VOLKOVKA's Market Rasen win at the beginning of the month and she can make light of a penalty with further progress on the cards. Wightman can build on his recent Newbury hurdle debut and may provide the chief threat ahead of Fakenham-winner Can't Stop Now. Fighting Tiger is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
