Verdict

Preference is for NOT STAYING LONG, who has been a revelation since rejoining Patrick Neville and can add to her couple of Catterick wins either side of Christmas in December. Back from a short break, she can get the better of Theatre Native, who has been placed on all 3 starts over fences and is open to further progress now handicapping. Willie Mullins' pair Judicieuse Allen and A Penny A Hundred can fight out third.
