Verdict

This can go to FORTUNE DANCER, who hasn't looked back since being switched to the larger obstacles and Chris Gordon's 8-y-o can extend her winning run to 4 at the expense of Cooleenymore, who has looked as good as ever since being returned to fences and promises to go well back in mares' company. Clotilda fell early at Wincanton last time but remains of interest given previous exploits.
