Verdict

BERTIE'S WISH is potentially well treated back on the Flat given his recent hurdling form and, with his stable very much among the winners of late, he appeals as the most persuasive option. Bollin Margaret endured a disappointing 2022 but has dropped to a handy mark as a result and caught the eye on her reappearance. Bushfire is still lightly-raced for Gemma Tutty and is another to consider dropping in grade.
