Verdict

SHE'S A FINE WINE was in career-best form over fences when last seen in the autumn and a good record fresh provides hope that she can pick up where she left off. You Make Me Smile ran a cracker from out of the handicap last time and could pose a threat back off her proper mark. Layenda appeals as one who could go on to better things in handicaps, while Midnight Eagle is one to note in the betting on her first start for in-form Andrew McNamara.
