Verdict

Fairly useful bumper scorer BONTTAY shaped well on her hurdling bow when runner-up at Lingfield and is very hard to oppose here given that form reads much better than anything else on show. Huntingdon third Symphorine looks the one to chase home Fergal O'Brien's mare with Masked Matgil appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

  1. BONTTAY (IRE)
  2. SYMPHORINE (FR)
  3. MASKED MATGIL (FR)
