On the back of improved placed efforts at Kempton and Wolverhampton, HILDEGARD is taken to deservedly open her account now faced with a stiffer test. Indeed, she shapes as though this new trip is well worth exploring and is marginally preferred to Broctune Red, who was third to a progressive filly over C&D and should give another good account off this 1 lb lower mark. The in-form Iron Sheriff and handicap debutant Mass Consumption both need considering, too.
